Experimental Study on Stable Electron Beam Generation from 15 TW Laser Interacting with Nitrogen

  • 摘要: 利用15 TW激光脉冲,系统研究了基于电离化注入的激光尾波场加速。实验中,研究了等离子体密度、相互作用位置、激光脉宽以及激光能量对电子束的电荷量、发散角、指向性、能量以及产生概率的影响。将约400 mJ、25 fs的激光脉冲聚焦在喷嘴前沿,等离子体密度约9×1018 cm-3时,电子的产生概率高达100%,获得了水平(竖直)发散角(6.5±0.5) mrad((5.3±0.3) mrad)、水平(竖直)指向稳定性±1.2 mrad (±0.7 mrad)、峰值能量(135±8) MeV和电荷量(13.5±2.0) pC(>50 MeV)的稳定电子束,为其应用奠定了基础。

     

    Abstract: The 15 TW laser pulses were used to systematically study laser wakefield acceleration based on ionization injection. In the experiments, the influence of plasma density, interaction position, laser pulse duration and laser energy on the charge, divergence, pointing stability, energy and generation probability of electron beams was studied. When laser pulses with about 400 mJ and 25 fs are focused on the nozzle’s front and plasma density is about 9×1018 cm-3, the generation probability of electron beams is as high as 100%. And, stable electron beams with horizontal (vertical) divergence of (6.5±0.5) mrad ((5.3±0.3) mrad), horizontal (vertical) pointing stability of ±1.2 mrad (±0.7 mrad), peak energy of (135±8) MeV and charge of (13.5± 2.0) pC (>50 MeV) are obtained, paving a solid foundation for its application.
