Down-ramp injection and independently controlled acceleration of electrons in a tailored laser wakefield accelerator
/ Hansson, M. (Lund U.) ; Aurand, B. (Lund U.) ; Davoine, X. (CEA DAM) ; Ekerfelt, H. (Lund U.) ; Svensson, K. (Lund U.) ; Persson, A. (Lund U.) ; Wahlström, C.-G. (Lund U.) ; Lundh, O. (Lund U.)
We report on a study on controlled injection of electrons into the accelerating phase of a plasma wakefield accelerator by tailoring the target density distribution using two independent sources of gas. The tailored density distribution is achieved experimentally by inserting a narrow nozzle, with an orifice diameter of only 400 μm , into a jet of gas supplied from a 2 mm diameter nozzle. [...]

Localization of ionization-induced trapping in a laser wakefield accelerator using a density down-ramp
/ Hansson, M. (Lund U.) ; Audet, T. L. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Ekerfelt, H. (Lund U.) ; Aurand, B. (Lund U.) ; Gallardo Ganzalez, I. (Lund U.) ; Desforges, F. G. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Davoine, X. (CEA DAM) ; Maitrallain, A. (Saclay) ; Reymond, S. (Lund U. ; ENSTA, Paris) ; Monot, P. (Saclay) et al.
We report on a study on controlled trapping of electrons, by field ionization of nitrogen ions, in laser wakefield accelerators in variable length gas cells. In addition to ionization-induced trapping in the density plateau inside the cells, which results in wide, but stable, electron energy spectra, a regime of ionization-induced trapping localized in the density down-ramp at the exit of the gas cells, is found. [...]

Supersonic jets of hydrogen and helium for laser wakefield acceleration
/ Svensson, K. (Lund U.) ; Hansson, M. (Lund U.) ; Wojda, F. (Lund U.) ; Senje, L. (Lund U.) ; Burza, M. (Lund U.) ; Aurand, B. (Lund U.) ; Genoud, G. (Lund U.) ; Persson, A. (Lund U.) ; Wahlström, C.-G. (Lund U.) ; Lundh, O. (Lund U.)
The properties of laser wakefield accelerated electrons in supersonic gas flows of hydrogen and helium are investigated. At identical backing pressure, we find that electron beams emerging from helium show large variations in their spectral and spatial distributions, whereas electron beams accelerated in hydrogen plasmas show a higher degree of reproducibility. [...]

Investigation of ionization-induced electron injection in a wakefield driven by laser inside a gas cell.
/ Audet, T. L. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Hansson, M. (Lund U.) ; Lee, P. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Desforges, F. G. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Maynard, G. (LPGP, Orsay) ; Dobosz Dufrenoy, S. (Saclay) ; Lehe, R. (LBNL, Berkeley) ; Vay, J.-L. (LBNL, Berkeley) ; Aurand, B. (Lund U.) ; Persson, A. (Lund U.) et al.
Ionization-induced electron injection was investigated experimentally by focusing a driving laser
pulse with a maximum normalized potential of 1.2 at different positions along the plasma density
profile inside a gas cell, filled with a gas mixture composed of 99%H2 þ 1%N2. Changing the laser
focus position relative to the gas cell entrance controls the accelerated electron bunch properties,
such as the spectrum width, maximum energy, and accelerated charge. [...]

Enhanced stability of laser wakefield acceleration using dielectric capillary tubes

The stability of beams of laser wakefield accelerated electrons in dielectric capillary tubes is
experimentally investigated. These beams are found to be more stable in charge and pointing than the
corresponding beams of electrons accelerated in a gas jet. [...]

Beamline Design for Plasma-Wakefield Acceleration Experiments at MAX IV
/ Svensson, Jonas Björklund (Lund U.) ; Ekerfelt, Henrik (Lund U.) ; Lundh, Olle (Lund U.) ; Mansten, Erik (Lund U., MAX-lab) ; Andersson, Joel (Lund U., MAX-lab) ; Kotur, Marija (Lund U., MAX-lab) ; Lindau, Filip (Lund U., MAX-lab) ; Thorin, Sara (Lund U., MAX-lab) ; Charles, Tessa K (CERN ; Melbourne U.)
The MAX IV Laboratory is a synchrotron radiation user facility located just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. The facility is made up of two storage rings, at 3 GeV and 1.5 GeV, respectively, and a linear accelerator, serving as a full-energy injector for the rings as well as a driver for the Short-Pulse Facility (SPF) located downstream of the extraction point to the 3 GeV ring.

Gas jet studies towards an optimization of the IGISOL LIST method
/ Reponen, M (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Moore, I D (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Kurpeta, J (Warsaw U.) ; Sonnenschein, V (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Pohjalainen, I (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Aysto, J (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Kessler, T (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Piszczek, S (Warsaw U.) ; Karvonen, P (Jyvaskyla U.) ; Marsh, B (CERN)
Gas jets emitted from an ion guide have been studied as a function of nozzle type and gas cell-to-background pressure ratio in order to obtain a low divergent, uniform jet over a distance of several cm. The jet has been probed by imaging the light emitted from excited argon or helium gas atoms. [...]
