Anisotropy of electrons accelerated by a high-intensity laser pulse
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a realistic model for a focused high-intensity laser pulse in three dimensions. Relativistic dynamics of an electron submitted to such pulse is described by equations of motion with ponderomotive potential depending on a single free parameter in the problem, which we refer to as the “asymmetry parameter”. It is shown that the asymmetry parameter can be chosen to provide quantitative agreement of the developed theory with experimental results of Malka et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 3314) who detected angular asymmetry in the spatial pattern of electrons accelerated in vacuum by a high-intensity laser pulse. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...

We have considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in unmagnetized plasma. High-intensity electromagnetic fields cause the variation of electron density in plasma. These changes in the special conditions cause the acceleration of electrons to the higher energy and velocities. Thus the equation of plasma density evolution was obtained considering the electrons ponderomotive force. T...

One of the emerging trends in new accelerator techniques is the laser based acceleration of particles, known as laser – plasma acceleration. Interaction of intense ultra short laser pulse with matter generates oscillations in hot plasma and the subsequent acceleration of electrons in a wakefield .Electrons can be accelerated to around 100 MeV within 1 mm distance. Ion beams can also be produced...

We report the first experimental demonstration of longitudinal compression of laser-accelerated electron pulses. Accelerated by a femtosecond laser pulse with an intensity of 10¹⁸ W/cm², an electron pulse with an energy of around 350 keV and a relative momentum spread of about 10⁻² was compressed to a 500-fs pulse at a distance of about 50 cm from the electron source by using a magnetic pulse c...

60 LLE Review, Volume 70 Traditionally, there have been many advantages to using laser beams with Gaussian spatial profiles in the study of high-field atomic physics. High peak intensities are achieved due to their focusability, they are easily generated in most laser systems, and their focal region can be described analytically. However, free electrons interacting with such a field are rapidly...
