Acceleration of Injected Electrons by the Plasma Beat Wave Accelerator
In this paper we describe the recent work at UCLA on the acceleration of externally injected electrons by a relativistic plasma wave. A two frequency laser was used to excite a plasma wave over a narrow range of static gas pressures close to resonance. Electrons with energies up to our detection limit of 9.1 MeV were observed when 2.1 MeV electrons were injected in the plasma wave. No accelerat...
متن کاملAutoresonant beat-wave generation
Autoresonance offers an efficient and robust means for the ponderomotive excitation of nonlinear Langmuir waves by phase-locking of the plasma wave to the slowly chirped beat frequency of the driving lasers via adiabatic passage through resonance. This mechanism is analyzed for the case of a cold, relativistic, underdense electron plasma, and its suitability for particle acceleration is discuss...
متن کاملBeat Wave Development Work
The first phase of experiments on beat wave acceleration have been completed at UCLA. Here we examined the suitability of a theta pinch as a plasma source. The beatwave was excited to amplitudes providing GeV/m-scale accelerating fields. However, trapped magnetic fields within the theta-pinch plasma hindered the injection of test particles. Optical diagnostics were developed to measure the acce...
متن کاملNonresonant beat-wave excitation of relativistic plasma waves with constant phase velocity for charged-particle acceleration.
The nonresonant beat-wave excitation of relativistic plasma waves is studied in two-dimensional simulations and experiments. It is shown through simulations that, as opposed to the resonant case, the accelerating electric fields associated with the nonresonant plasmons are always in phase with the beat-pattern of the laser pulse. The excitation of such nonresonant relativistic plasma waves is s...
متن کاملAcceleration and scattering of injected electrons in plasma beat wave accelerator experiments<atother>@f|</atother>
The results from experiments in which a two-frequency COZ laser is used to beat-excite large-amplitude, relativistic electron plasma waves in a tunnel-ionized plasma are reported. The plasma wave is diagnosed by injecting a beam of 2 MeV electrons and observing the energy gain and loss of these electrons, as well as the scattering and deflection of the transmitted electrons near 2 MeV. Accelera...
