Emittance growth due to misalignment in multistage laser-plasma accelerators
Beam degradation is examined in a laser-plasma accelerator stage with a parabolic plasma channel when the laser pulse and/or the electron beam enters the channel off axis. Betatron oscillations in the beam become incoherent, resulting in a net increase of beam emittance through phase mixing. A quant...
