Monoenergetic laser wakefield acceleration
Three dimensional test particle simulations are applied to optimization of the plasma-channeled laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) operating in a weakly nonlinear regime. Electron beam energy spread, emittance, and luminosity depend upon the proportion of the electron bunch size to the plasma wavele...

| description |
Three dimensional test particle simulations are applied to optimization of the plasma-channeled laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) operating in a weakly nonlinear regime. Electron beam energy spread, emittance, and luminosity depend upon the proportion of the electron bunch size to the plasma wavelength. This proportion tends to improve with the laser wavelength increase. We simulate a prospective two-stage ∼1GeV LWFA with controlled energy spread and emittance. The input parameters correspond to realistic capabilities of the BNL Accelerator Test Facility that features a picosecond-terawatt CO_{2} laser and a high-brightness electron gun. |
