Overview

Numerical simulation study demonstrates high-charge, low-emittance electron beam generation in laser wakefield accelerators, suggesting a practical path toward compact table-top radiation sources.

Key Points

To investigate whether tightly focusing laser pulses in laser wakefield accelerators can reliably trigger plasma electron injection to produce high-quality, high-charge electron beams.
Simulated laser-plasma interactions using particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithms driven by approximately 100 TW laser pulses within uniform plasma.
Evaluated wakefield bubble expansion beyond the focal position to reduce effective wake phase velocity and suppress beam chirp over optimized acceleration distances.
Formulated an empirical model to estimate total injected electron beam charge based on laser and plasma parameters.
Particle-in-cell simulations demonstrated the generation of electron beams with total charge on the order of nanocoulombs.
The scheme produced electron beams with an energy spread of approximately 1% and a normalized emittance of approximately 0.1 mm mrad.
