Simulation of electron postacceleration in a two-stage laser wakefield accelerator
Open accessAbstract
Electron bunches produced in self-modulated laser wakefield experiments usually have a broad energy distribution, with most electrons at low energy (1--3 MeV) and only a small fraction at high energy. We propose and investigate further acceleration of such bunches in a channel-guided resonant laser wakefield accelerator. Two-dimensional simulations with and without the effects of self-consistent beam loading are performed and compared. These results indicate that it is possible to trap about $40%$ of the injected bunch charge and accelerate this fraction to an average energy of about 50 MeV in a plasma channel of a few mm.

Fluid and other PIC simulations have also observed that longer acceleration length results in narrow energy spread.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
