Ultra-high-brightness and tuneable attosecond-long electron beams with the laser wake field acceleration
摘要
Ultra-low emittance and length-tuneable electron beams can be obtained with the Laser Wake Field Acceleration (LWFA) by employing advanced ionization injection techniques, such as the Two-Color and the Resonant Multi-Pulse Ionization injection (ReMPI) schemes. There, a tightly focused, short wavelength (ionization) pulse extracts electrons from a selected inner shell of a dopant, allowing them to be longitudinally compressed and trapped in the wakefield excited by a different (driver) pulse. In this work we demonstrate, by means of analytical results and Particle In Cell simulations, that 340 as long electron beams with 2.3 GeV energy, 6.1 pC charge, 0.15
