CONTROL OF CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-INJECTED AND ACCELERATED ELECTRON BUNCH IN PLASMA BY LASER PULSE SHAPING ON RADIUS, INTENSITY AND SHAPE

Abstract

At the laser acceleration of self-injected electron bunch by plasma wakefield it is important to form bunch with small energy spread and small size. It has been shown that laser-pulse shaping on radius, intensity and shape controls characteristics of the self-injected electron bunch and provides at certain shaping small energy spread and small size of self-injected and accelerated electron bunch.
