dc.description.abstract | In the Laser Controlled Collective Accelerator, an intense
electron beam is injected at a current above the vacuum space
charge limit into an initially evacuated drift tube. A plasma
channel, produced by time-sequenced, multiple laser beam ionization
of a solid target on the drift tube wall, provides the necessary
neutralization to allow for effective beam propagation.
By controlling the rate of production of the plasma channel
as a function of time down the drift tube, control of the electron
beamfront can be achieved. Recent experimental measurements
of controlled beamfront motion in this configuration are
presented, along with results of ion acceleration experiments
conducted using two different accelerating gradients. These
results are compared with numerical simulations of the system
in which both controlled beamfront motion and ion acceleration
is observed consistent with both design expectations and
experimental results. | en_US |
