“…In Refs. [6,31] 3D PIC simulations distinctly show the "swallow tail" structure in the electron density distribution formed in the nonlinear wake wave. In this Section we present 3D PIC simulation results for the electron bunch injection, which clearly demonstrate the elongated electron bunch generation during the transverse wake wave breaking.…”

We suggest a novel method for injection of electrons into the acceleration phase of particle accelerators, producing low emittance beams appropriate even for the demanding high energy Linear Collider specifications. In this paper we work out the injection into the acceleration phase of the wake field in a plasma behind a high intensity laser pulse, taking advantage of the laser polarization and focusing. With the aid of catastrophe theory we categorize the injection dynamics. The scheme uses the structurally stable regime of transverse wake wave breaking, when electron trajectory self-intersection leads to the formation of a flat electron bunch. As shown in threedimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction of a laser pulse in a linefocus with an underdense plasma, the electrons, injected via the transverse wake wave breaking and accelerated by the wake wave, perform betatron oscillations with different amplitudes and frequencies along the two transverse coordinates. The polarization and focusing geometry lead to a way to produce relativistic electron bunches with asymmetric emittance (flat beam). An approach for generating flat laser accelerated ion beams is briefly discussed. † Also at A. M. Prokhorov

“…Ablated materials (e.g., aluminum, oxygen) have higher ionization thresholds, and the deteriorated channel may lead to laser ablation of the capillary wall. Alternatively, the blueshifting could be caused by photon acceleration of the back of the laser pulse [11], if it has stretched to a length of order the plasma wavelength. The reduced laser transmission was likely due to ionization and laser leakage from the channel rather than the stronger wakefield generation because of the lower maximum energy observed for longer discharge delay.…”

Abstract. Laser wakefield acceleration experiments were carried out by using a hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide. For a 15 mm long, 200 µm diameter capillary, quasi-monoenergetic e-beams up to 300 MeV were observed. By de-tuning discharge delay from optimum guiding performance, self-trapping was found to be stabilized. For a 33 mm long, 300 µm capillary, a parameter regime with high energy electron beams, up to 1 GeV, was found. In this regime, the electron beam peak energy was correlated with the amount of trapped electrons.
