  1. Experiments with short singlee-bunch using preformed and beam ionized plasma Retain ability to run short single bunch with pre-ionized plasma Ken Marsh, NavidVafaei, Chan Joshi

  2. Optimized density W. Lu

  3. Why is this important? • Can we maximize energy gain? • In theory, we should be able to reach transformer ratio > 2 • Experiments so far TR < 2. • What limits TR? • Head erosion? • Trapped particles?

  4. Head erosion is likely the most important factor limiting energy gain. • Does pre-ionized plasma solve the HE problem? • Experimental study: using single electron bunch in the 35 cm lithium oven • Example: For 2x1017 cm-3 • Ez= 110 GeV/m, total gain 40 GeV in 35 cm • Eloss= 45GeV/m, total loss 16 GeV in 35 cm Facet Proposal for High Energy Gain Test

  5. Experimental Requirements nb > np • Lithium plasma np=2x1017 cm-3 • 30 um bunch length, 10-30 um bunch radius • matched radius = 2 to 4 um • Charge 1.8x1010

  6. How does pre-ionization affect our most basic diagnostics? Diagnostics • Energy spectrometer • Can FACET spectrometer measure 60 GeV? • Can we see drive beam energy go down to 4 GeV. • Energy gain has only a weak dependence on emittance • Participating charge? Should strongly increase. • X-ray level should increase because more participating charge and longer propagation distance.

  7. Concluding Remarks • We will need • High density 30x30x30 electron beam • Pre-ionized and beam ionized lithium plasma • 200 mj to preionize

  8. High TR experiment with Lithium oven using mixed gas buffer

  9. Example of High TR Simulationwith “Ionization Trapping” Generation of fully loaded transformer ratio wakes of 3 using the FACET II beam. Drive Beam Parameters: Q = 4 nC, σr = 5 μm, σz = 20 μm, εN = 5 mm mrad, E = 10.0 GeV. Trailing Beam Parameters: Q = 0.288 nC, σr = 2 μm, σz = 2 μm, εN = 1.0 mm mrad, E = 100 MeV. Distance between two beams: 93.5 μm. Plasma Density np = 2.0 x 1017 cm-3 (the beam propagates in a pre-ionized plasma). (Courtesy Weiming An)

  10. Localized Self-Trapping Experiment • No Trapping with lithium oven using helium buffer gas • Add argon impurity to create a large number of self trapped electrons in a controlled way • What bounds the Ar impurity ratio is reduction of TR due to beam loading • This experiment needs • High density electron beam to ionize Lithium • Argon or Neon impurity mixing

  11. Mixed Gas Results in LWFA • 4mm injector cell gas cell is compared to 8 mm two stage cell. • Two stage: Electron density of 3x1018 cm-3, coupled laser power of 40 TW • Injector only: 3.4x1018 cm-3, coupled laser power of 50 TW • 0.5% N2 mixed in He in both cases
