摘要:

等离子体因其天然能够维持比传统射频加速器中可用电场大数个数量级的电场,而成为粒子加速的一种极具吸引力的介质。在加速器技术中,等离子体也是独一无二的,因为它对相反电荷的束流响应不同。等离子体对高相对论性电子束和正电子束的不对称响应源于等离子体由轻的、可移动的电子和重的、静止的离子组成。空芯通道等离子体加速是一种使等离子体响应对称化的技术,使其对高能电子束和正电子束同样有效。在本文所述的实验中,我们展示了在延伸的环形等离子体通道中产生由正电子束驱动的尾场,以及由该尾场加速第二个尾随的正电子见证束团。前导束团激发等离子体尾场并向等离子体损失能量,而见证束团则经历加速场并获得能量,从而为空芯通道加速正电子束团提供了概念验证。在束团间距为330微米时,加速梯度为70 MV/m,变压器比为0.55,在驱动束与见证束电荷比为5:1时,能量传递效率为18%。

英文摘要:

Plasmas are a compelling medium for particle acceleration owing to their natural ability to sustain electric fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those available in conventional radio-frequency accelerators. Plasmas are also unique amongst accelerator technologies in that they respond differently to beams of opposite charge. The asymmetric response of a plasma to highly-relativistic electron and positron beams arises from the fact that plasmas are composed of light, mobile electrons and heavy, stationary ions. Hollow channel plasma acceleration is a technique for symmetrizing the response of the plasma, such that it works equally well for high-energy electron and positron beams. In the experiment described here, we demonstrate the generation of a positron beam-driven wake in an extended, annular plasma channel, and acceleration of a second trailing witness positron bunch by the wake. The leading bunch excites the plasma wakefield and loses energy to the plasma, while the witness bunch experiences an accelerating field and gains energy, thus providing a proof-of-concept for hollow channel acceleration of positron beams. At a bunch separation of 330 um, the accelerating gradient is 70 MV/m, the transformer ratio is 0.55, and the energy transfer efficiency is 18% for a drive-to-witness beam charge ratio of 5:1.
