Confined Continuous-Flow Plasma Source For High-Average-Power Laser Plasma Acceleration

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Over the last decades, significant advances in high-power laser systems have enabled rapid progress in the development of laser-driven plasma accelerators. Today, the results obtained in beam stability and reproducibility present laser plasma acceleration as a viable and promising alternative to conventional accelerators. As several electron beam and secondary sources applications require high average currents, a major focus is now on increasing the beam's repetition rate. In the following, we introduce a novel plasma source for kHz electron acceleration, providing a continuous and spatially confined gas flow, while minimising the gas load in the acceleration chamber.
