用单发电子束探测激光等离子体内电磁场演化实验研究

惯性约束核聚变研究最近取得可喜成果,美国国家点火装置NIF装置实验上聚变增益达到了输入激光能量的三分之二.但是,这一成果与人们的预期还有较大差距,需要更深入研究激光与等离子体相互作用初期的动力学过程.我们发展了一种新方法,用单发长脉冲电子束团为探针,测量激光等离子体内电磁场在整个等离子体持续时间内的演化过程.实验中,高压静电电子源产生能量0—100 keV连续可调、脉宽10ns的电子束团.1 J,532 nm,脉宽约4 ns的激光脉冲聚焦到银靶上,激发产生等离子体.电子束团穿过激光等离子体,被其中的电磁场调制后成像,单发电子束团时间宽度会覆盖整个等离子体持续时间,通过分析电子束团的调制强度,推得等离子体内电磁场的变化.实验上成功实现了单发电子束团对整个激光等离子体内电场的诊断测量,获得了演化曲线,推算出实验条件下电子束通过路径上平均电场的最大值约为7.74×10~5 V/m.     

BXERL photo-injector based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun

The Beijing X-ray Energy Recovery Linac (BXERL) test facility is proposed in Institute of High Physics (IHEP). In this proposal, the main linac requires the injector to provide an electron beam with 5 MeV energy and 10 mA average current. An injector based on DC gun technology is the first candidate electron source for BXERL. However, the field emission in the DC gun cavity makes it much more difficult to increase the high voltage to more than 500 kV. Another technology based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun is proposed as the backup injector for this test facility. We have designed this RF gun with 2D SUPERFISH code and 3D MICROWAVE STUDIO code. In this paper, we present the optimized design of the gun cavity, the gun RF parameters and the set-up of the whole injector system. The detailed beam dynamics have been done and the simulation results show that the injector can generate electron bunches with RMS normalized emittance 1.0 uppi mmcdotmrad, bunch length 0.77 mm, beam energy 5.0 MeV and energy spread 0.60%.

A Measurement Method of Time Jitter of a Laser Pulse with Respect to the Radio—Frequency Wave Phase in a Photocathode Radio—Frequency Gun

In a photo-cathode radio-frequency(rf) gun,the micro-bunched charge output from the gun is dependent linearly on he laser injection phase,due to the Scottay effect in the process of photoemission and the procedure of the electron logitudinal acceleration.Based on this principle,a new method is proposed ,which should be utilized to measure the time jitter between the driving laser pulse and the rf phase with a very high resolution of a few tens of femtoseconds.

Time-Resolved Visualization of Laser-Induced Heating of Gold with MeV Ultrafast Electron Diffraction

Time-resolved electron diffraction employing MeV electron beams is demonstrated experimentally at the center for ultrafast diffraction and microscopy of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. A high-quality diffraction pattern is recorded by a single shot of electron pulse. Synchronization between the pump laser and the probe electron beam is achieved through measurement of electron deflection caused by the laser-induced plasmas in a metal tip. We study the ultrafast structural dynamics of the gold lattice excited by a femtosecond laser through tracing the change of Bragg peaks intensity at different time delays. It is expected that the combination of MeV ultrashort electron beams and femtoseeond laser pulses will open many new opportunities in the ultrafast and ultrasmall world.     

Emittance measurement & optimization for the photocathode RF gun with laser profile shaping

The Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source （LUCX） is a test bench for a compact high brightness X-ray generator, based on inverse Compton Scattering at KEK, which requires high intensity multi-bunch trains with low transverse emittance. A photocathode RF gun with emittance compensation solenoid is used as an electron source. Much endeavor has been made to increase the beam intensity in the multi-bunch trains. The cavity of the RF gun is tuned into an unbalanced field in order to reduce space charge effects, so that the field gradient on the cathode surface is relatively higher when the forward RF power into gun cavity is not high enough. A laser profile shaper is employed to convert the driving laser profile from Gaussian into uniform. In this research we seek to find the optimized operational conditions for the decrease of the transverse emittance. With the uniform driving laser and the unbalanced RF gun, the RMS transverse emittance of a 1 nC bunch has been improved effectively from 5.46 πmm·mrad to 3.66 πmm·mrad.
