Abstract:
We describe the main ideas, promises and challenges related to proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. Existing high-energy proton beams have the potential to accelerate electron beams to the TeV scale in a single plasma stage. In order to drive a wake effectively the available beams must be either highly compressed or microbunched. The self-modulation instability has been suggested as a way to microbunch the proton beams. The AWAKE project at CERN is currently the only planned proton-driven plasma acceleration experiment. A self-modulated CERN SPS beam will be used to drive a plasma wake. We describe the design choices and experimental setup for AWAKE, and discuss briefly the short-term objectives as well as longer-term ideas for the project.

Abstract:
A future capability in dynamic mesoscale materials science is needed to study the limitations of materials under irreversible and extreme conditions, where these limitations are caused by nonuniformities and defects in the mesoscale. This capability gap could potentially be closed with an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), producing 5 × 1010 photons with an energy of 42 keV, known as the Matter–Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) XFEL. Over the last few years, researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a preconceptual design for a MaRIE-class XFEL based on existing high-brightness beam technologies, including superconducting L-band cryomodules. However, the performance of a MaRIE-class XFEL can be improved and the risk of its operation reduced by investing in emerging high-brightness beam technologies, such as the development of high-gradient normal conducting radio frequency (RF) structures. Additionally, an alternative XFEL architecture, which generates a series of high-current microbunches instead of a single bunch with uniformly high current along it, may suppress the most important emittance degradation effects in the accelerator and in the XFEL undulator. In this paper, we describe the needed dynamic mesoscale materials science capability, a MaRIE-class XFEL, and the proposed microbunched XFEL accelerator architecture in detail.

Abstract:
Application of coherent optical transition radiation (COTR) diagnostics to compact accelerators has been demonstrated for the laser-driven plasma accelerator case recently. It is proposed that such diagnostics for beam size, beam divergence, microbunching fraction, spectral content, and bunch length would be useful before and after any subsequent acceleration in crystals or nanostructures. In addition, there are indications that under some scenarios a microbunched beam could resonantly excite wake fields in nanostructures that might lead to an increased acceleration gradient.

Abstract:
Abstract Compact x-ray sources offering high-brightness radiation for advanced imaging applications are highly desired. We investigate, analytically and numerically, the photon yield of superradiant inverse Compton scattering from microbunched electrons in the linear Thomson regime, using a classical electrodynamics approach. We show that for low electron beam energy, which is generic to inverse Compton sources, the single electron radiation distribution does not match well to collective amplification pattern induced by a density modulated electron beam. Consequently, for head-on scattering from a visible laser, the superradiant yield is limited by the transverse size of typical electron bunches driving Compton sources. However, by simultaneously increasing the electron beam energy and introducing an oblique scattering geometry, the superradiant yield can be increased by orders of magnitude.

Abstract:
The staged electron laser acceleration (STELLA) experiment demonstrated staging between two laser-driven devices, high trapping efficiency of microbunches within the accelerating field and narrow energy spread during laser acceleration. These are important for practical laser-driven accelerators. STELLA used inverse free electron lasers, which were chosen primarily for convenience. Nevertheless, the STELLA approach can be applied to other laser acceleration methods, in particular, laser-driven plasma accelerators. STELLA is now conducting experiments on laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). Two novel LWFA approaches are being investigated. In the first one, called pseudo-resonant LWFA, a laser pulse enters a low-density plasma where nonlinear laser/plasma interactions cause the laser pulse shape to steepen, thereby creating strong wakefields. A witness e -beam pulse probes the wakefields. The second one, called seeded self-modulated LWFA, involves sending a seed e -beam pulse into the plasma to initiate wakefield formation. These wakefields are amplified by a laser pulse following shortly after the seed pulse. A second e -beam pulse (witness) follows the seed pulse to probe the wakefields. These LWFA experiments will also be the first ones driven by a CO 2 laser beam.

Abstract:
We report the start-to-end modeling of our accelerator lattice design employing a laser-assisted bunch compression (LABC) scheme in an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL), using the proposed Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) XFEL parameters. The accelerator lattice utilized a two-stage bunch compression scheme, with the first bunch compressor performing a conventional bulk compression enhancing the beam current from 20 A to 500 A, at 750 MeV. The second bunch compression was achieved by modulating the beam immediately downstream of the first bunch compressor by a laser with 1-μm wavelength in a laser modulator, accelerating the beam to the final energy of 12 GeV, and compressing the individual 1-μm periods of the modulated beam into a sequence of microbunches with 3-kA current spikes by the second bunch compressor. The LABC architecture presented had been developed based on the scheme of enhanced self-amplified spontaneous emission (ESASE), but operated in a disparate regime of parameters. Enabled by the novel technology of the cryogenic normal conducting radiofrequency photoinjector, we investigated an electron beam with ultra-low emittance at the starting point of the lattice design. Our work aimed at mitigating the well-known beam instabilities to preserve the beam emittance and suppress the energy spread growth.

Abstract:
AbstractQuasi-phase matching in corrugated plasma channels has been proposed as a way to overcome the dephasing limitation in laser wakefield accelerators. In this study, the phase-lock dynamics of a relatively long electron bunch injected in an axially-modulated plasma waveguide is investigated by performing particle simulations. The main objective here is to obtain a better understanding of how the transverse and longitudinal components of the wakefield as well as the initial properties of the beam affect its evolution and qualities. The results indicate that the modulation of the electron beam generates trains of electron microbunches. It is shown that increasing the initial energy of the electron beam leads to a reduction in its final energy spread and produces a more collimated electron bunch. For larger bunch diameters, the final emittance of the electron beam increases due to the stronger experienced transverse forces and the larger diameter itself. Increasing the laser power improves the maximum energy gain of the electron beam. However, the stronger generated focusing and defocusing fields degrade the collimation of the bunch.

Abstract:
AbstractTime-resolved investigation of electron dynamics relies on the generation of isolated attosecond pulses in the (soft) X-ray regime. Thomson scattering is a source of high energy radiation of increasing prevalence in modern labs, complementing large scale facilities like undulators and X-ray free electron lasers. We propose a scheme to generate isolated attosecond X-ray pulses based on Thomson scattering by colliding microbunched electrons on a chirped laser pulse. The electrons collectively act as a relativistic chirped mirror, which superradiantly reflects the laser pulse into a single localized beat. As such, this technique extends chirped pulse compression, developed for radar and applied in optics, to the X-ray regime. In this paper we theoretically show that, by using this approach, attosecond soft X-ray pulses with GW peak power can be generated from pC electron bunches at tens of MeV electron beam energy. While we propose the generation of few cycle X-ray pulses on a table-top system, the theory is universally scalable over the electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract:
Abstract Recent advances on laser-driven ion accelerators have sparked an increased interest in such energetic particle sources, particularly towards the viability of their usage in a breadth of applications, such as high energy physics and medical applications. Here, we identify a new ion acceleration mechanism and we demonstrate, via particle-in-cell simulations, for the first time the generation of high energy, monochromatic proton micro-bunches while witnessing the acceleration and self-modulation of the accelerated proton beam in a dual-gas target, consisting of mixed ion species. In the proposed ion acceleration mechanism due to the interaction of an ultra-short, ultra-intense (2 PW, 20 fs) laser pulses with near-critical-density partially ionized plasmas (C & H species), we numerically observed high energy monochromatic proton microbunches of high quality (peak proton energy 350 MeV, laser to proton conversion efficiency ~10−4 and angular divergence <10 degree), which can be of high relevance for medical applications. We envisage that through this scheme, the range of attained energies and the monochromaticity of the accelerated protons can be increased with existing laser facilities or allow for laser-driven ion acceleration investigations to be pursued at moderate energies in smaller scale laser laboratories, hence reducing the size of the accelerators. The use of mixed-gas targets will enable high repetition rate operation of these accelerators, free of plasma debris and electromagnetic pulse disruptions.
