Laser-plasama acceleration experiment has been carried out using 200TW, 30fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulses focused on helium gas-jets with F/8.75 optics. Intense mono-energetic electron beams have been produced by controlling plasma length and density precisely. Energy spectral oscillations in respect to ejection angle have been also observed. Measurements of images from Thomson scattering and fluorescence side scattering from plasma indicate highly relativistic effects such as a long self-channeling, hosing instability and filamentation. It seems that these nonlinear phenomena strongly disturb high energy gain acceleration and high quality beam generation. |
