A Plasma Accelerator Knocked on the Storage Ring
A design study proposes compressing laser-plasma electron bunches before injecting them into a PETRA-IV-like ring for femtosecond coherent radiation.
Summary
A design study proposes compressing laser-plasma electron bunches before injecting them into a PETRA-IV-like ring for femtosecond coherent radiation.
A simulation study proposes feeding electrons from a laser-plasma accelerator into a PETRA-IV-like storage ring after active longitudinal compression. The authors describe kiloampere-scale short pulses at repetition rates of tens of hertz and project femtosecond coherent-radiation capability. This is a source and injection concept, not an operating beamline, measured light source or approved PETRA IV configuration.
