研究目的
Investigating the direct laser acceleration of electrons in high-Z gas target and the effect of threshold plasma density on electron beam generation.
研究成果
The study concludes that direct laser acceleration and hybrid mechanisms are effective for generating high-quality electron beams in high-Z gas targets. An optimum fraction of He in N2 was identified for generating quasi-monoenergetic electron beams with high energy and low energy spread. The findings are supported by theoretical analysis and 2D PIC simulations, highlighting the importance of plasma density and gas composition in electron acceleration.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific laser parameters and gas compositions used. The applicability of the findings to other conditions or gases is not explored. The experimental setup's resolution and the range of plasma densities achievable may also limit the study's scope.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved laser-driven electron acceleration in N2 and N2-He mixed gas-jet targets using Ti:Sapphire laser pulses of ~60-70 fs duration. The methodology included varying the gas composition and plasma density to study electron beam generation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiment used pure N2 and mixed N2-He gas-jet targets with varying fractions of He to study the effect on electron acceleration.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Ti:Sapphire laser, gas-jet nozzle, magnetic spectrograph, phosphor screens for electron beam profile and spectrum recording.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
