Production of Relativistic Electron Bunch with Tunable Current Distribution
We propose a novel method for tailoring the current distribution of relativistic electron bunches. The technique relies on a recently proposed transverse-to-longitudinal phase space exchange. The bunch is transversely shaped and the phase space exchange mechanism converts this transverse profile into a current profile. The technique provides a tool for generating arbitrary current profiles in a...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in plasmas from relativistic laser-electron scattering
Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...
متن کاملRelativistic high-current electron-beam stopping-power characterization in solids and plasmas: collisional versus resistive effects.
We present experimental and numerical results on intense-laser-pulse-produced fast electron beams transport through aluminum samples, either solid or compressed and heated by laser-induced planar shock propagation. Thanks to absolute K(α) yield measurements and its very good agreement with results from numerical simulations, we quantify the collisional and resistive fast electron stopping power...
متن کاملElectron acceleration in relativistic GRB shocks.
The shock model of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has two free parameters: B and e. It has been shown that B should range between few x 10(-3) and few x 10(-4). However, how to calculate the value of e has remained an outstanding theoretical problem for over a decade. Here, we demonstrate that the Weibel theory inevitably predicts that epsilone approximately radical epsilonB. The GRB afterglow data fu...
متن کاملCollective Ion Acceleration by Relativistic Electron Rings in the Magnetosphere
To Professor Arnulf Schlüter on his 60th Birthday Calculations are presented which show that the collective acceleration of ions by rings of relativistic electrons seems feasible in the polar regions of a dipolar magnetospheric field. The well known magnetic field of the earth is taken as an example and it is found that with rings of electrons of only 4 MeV initial energy, deuterons can be acce...
