  1. 1. Impedance and Instabilities in the MAX IV 3 GeV Ring

    Författare :Galina Skripka; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collective effects; geometric impedance; resistive wall impedance; wakefields; particle tracking; harmonic cavity;

    Sammanfattning : To ensure the beam with an ultralow emittance and high current the possible effects deteriorating the beam stability must be investigated. When ultrarelativistic particles travel in the vacuum chamber they induce electromagnetic fields which can act back on them and the following particles. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Pushing methods for plasma simulations into the QED regime

    Författare :Erik Karl Wallstén Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LWFA; nonlinear dynamics; plasma; Manley-Rowe; particle-in-cell; synchrotron radiation; radiation reaction;

    Sammanfattning : The interaction between a super-intense laser pulse, with intensity up to 10²² W/cm², and a plasma opens new regimes of physics, with new questions and more demand on existing numerical tools. Relativistic and quantum effects which are negligible for lower laser intensities become important and must be properly modelled to generate reliable predictions. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Development and Applications of a Laser-Wakefield X-ray Source

    Författare :Isabel Gallardo Gonzalez; Atomfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser-wakefield acceleration; betatron radiation; ionization-induced trapping; direct laser acceleration; laser-wakefield merging; warm dense matter; phase-contrast imaging; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Gallardo;

    Sammanfattning : In laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA), a femtosecond laser pulse is tightly focused in a gas to intensities exceeding 1018 W/cm2 . The laser radiation ionizes the medium and excites a plasma wave that travels behind the laser pulse. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Controlled Trapping in Laser Wakefield Accelerators

    Författare :Martin Hansson; Atomfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laser; Wakefield; Acceleration; Trapping; Fysicumarkivet A:2016:Hansson;

    Sammanfattning : Experimental studies of laser-driven acceleration of charged particles, in particular electrons and protons, are described in this dissertation. Tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses with intensities exceeding 1018 W/cm2 were used to accelerate charged particles to high energies over distances of a few millimeters. LÄS MER
