Beatwave acceleration experiments

Description
The possibility of using high density plasmas as a medium for a high gradient accelerator is being studied experimentally at UCLA. This proof-of-principle experiment uses a large CO2 laser to excite plasma waves with large accelerating fields and a 1.5 MeV linac to probe the fields. Preliminary results from optical scattering diagnostics indicate that the length L of the wave times the accelerating gradient Ea is so far limited to EaL ≤ 3.2 MeV whereas the experiment is designed to achieve EaL ∼ 10 MeV. 9 refs., 6 figs
