Description

Laser-Plasma-Accelerators are prominent candidates to drive a next generation of high-brightness x-ray sources. The LUX laser-plasma-accelerator, driven by the ANGUS 200 TW laser, has recently demonstrated the generation of few-nm-plasma-driven undulator radiation. Long-term operation of the plasma accelerator with reproducible electron beams requires a highly stable drive laser. To reach this goal, we have integrated the ANGUS laser in an accelerator-grade control system. We will report on the day-long operation of the laser, enabled by our implementation of active feedback systems, and lessons learned from correlating laser control parameters.
