Nonlinear plasma waves driven by short ultrarelativistic electron bunches

Journal Article Wang, Tianhong ; Khudik, Vladimir ; Breizman, Boris ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We advance here a theory of quasistatic approximation and investigate the excitation of nonlinear plasma waves by the driving beam of ultrarelativistic electrons using a novel electrostatic-like particle-in-cell code. Assuming that the beam occupies an infinitesimally small volume, we find the radius and the length of the plasma bubble formed in the wake of the driver for varying values of the beam charge. The mechanism of bubble formation is explained by developing simple models of the bubble at large charges. Plasma electrons expelled by the driver charge excite secondary plasma waves, which complicate the plasma electron flow near the bubblemore » boundary.« less

Universal scalings for laser acceleration of electrons in ion channels

Journal Article Khudik, Vladimir ; Arefiev, Alexey ; Zhang, Xi ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Here, we analytically investigate the acceleration of electrons undergoing betatron oscillations in an ion channel, driven by a laser beam propagating with superluminal (or luminal) phase velocity. The universal scalings for the maximum attainable electron energy are found for arbitrary laser and plasma parameters by deriving a set of dimensionless equations for paraxial ultra-relativistic electron motion. One of our analytic predictions is the emergence of forbidden zones in the electrons' phase space. For an individual electron, these give rise to a threshold-type dependence of the final energy gain on the laser intensity. The universal scalings are also generalized to themore »« less

Spontaneous emergence of non-planar electron orbits during direct laser acceleration by a linearly polarized laser pulse

Journal Article Arefiev, A. V. ; Khudik, V. N. ; Robinson, A. P. L. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

An electron irradiated by a linearly polarized relativistic intensity laser pulse in a cylindrical plasma channel can gain significant energy from the pulse. The laser electric and magnetic fields drive electron oscillations in a plane making it natural to expect the electron trajectory to be flat. We show that strong modulations of the relativistic γ-factor associated with the energy enhancement cause the free oscillations perpendicular to the plane of the driven motion to become unstable. As a consequence, out of plane displacements grow to become comparable to the amplitude of the driven oscillations and the electron trajectory becomes essentially three-dimensional,more »« less
