摘要:

高能光子源在几乎所有的研究领域都有重要的应用。然而,现有源的光子通量和强度对于几百keV以上的光子能量是强烈受限的。在这里,我们表明,高电流超相对论电子束与多个亚微米厚的导电箔相互作用,可以进行强烈的自聚焦伴随着有效的伽马射线同步辐射光子的发射。物理上,自聚焦和高能光子发射起源于束与伴随束箔碰撞的近场跃迁辐射的相互作用。这种近场辐射的幅度与射束自场相当,并且可以足够强,使得单个发射的光子可以带走发射电子能量的很大一部分。在与多片薄膜碰撞后,获得了数密度超过固体的飞秒准直电子束和光子束。这种伽马射线源的相对简单,独特的特性和高效率为应用和基础研究开辟了新的机会,包括用单电子束对强场QED过程进行无激光调查。

英文摘要:

Sources of high-energy photons have important applications in almost all areas of research. However, the photon flux and intensity of existing sources is strongly limited for photon energies above a few hundred keV. Here we show that a high-current ultrarelativistic electron beam interacting with multiple submicrometer-thick conducting foils can undergo strong self-focusing accompanied by efficient emission of gamma-ray synchrotron photons. Physically, self-focusing and high-energy photon emission originate from the beam interaction with the near-field transition radiation accompanying the beam-foil collision. This near field radiation is of amplitude comparable with the beam self-field, and can be strong enough that a single emitted photon can carry away a significant fraction of the emitting electron energy. After beam collision with multiple foils, femtosecond collimated electron and photon beams with number density exceeding that of a solid are obtained. The relative simplicity, unique properties, and high efficiency of this gamma-ray source open up new opportunities for both applied and fundamental research including laserless investigations of strong-field QED processes with a single electron beam.
