Analysis of electron injection in laser wakefield acceleration using betatron emission in capillary tubes

Résumé

The dynamics of ionization-induced electron injection in the high density (~ 1:2 × 1019cm-3) regime of Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) was investigated by analyzing betatron X-ray emission inside dielectric capillary tubes. A comparative study of the electron and betatron X-ray properties was performed for both self-injection and ionization-induced injection. Direct experimental evidence of early onset of ionization-induced injection into the plasma wave was obtained by mapping the X-ray emission zone inside the plasma. Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations showed that the early onset of ionization-induced injection, due to its lower trapping threshold, suppresses self-injection of electrons. An increase of X-ray fluence by at least a factor of two was observed in the case of ionization-induced injection due to an increased trapped charge compared to self-injection mechanism. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
