Laser plasma accelerator can recently generate monochromatic and low-emittanced electron bunchs. Its pulse duration is femtoseconds, 40fs by the PIC simulation and about 250fs by measurement at University of Tokyo. But in such measurements only time-averaged spectrum and pulse duration were obtained by a few bolometers and coherent transition radiation (CTR) interferometer. Since the electron generation and acceleration are not stable yet, we need to know shot-by-shot behavior to improve its mechanism. Here we introduce the polychromator with ten channel-sensors for the single shot measurement. By this polychromator, we can obtain such a discrete spectrum of CTR by a single shot, thus the bunch duration can also be obtained shot-by-shot. This polychromator has ten channels to observe infrared radiation, and is mainly sensitive for the wavelengths around 1~2mm. We select this range of wavelength as the measurement tool, because the electron bunch duration changes shot-by-shot during traveling along the distance between the plasma and Ti foil (CTR emitter) due to their energy spectrum fluctuation. Further results and discussion will be presented on the spot.

Electron beam injection triggered by intense ultrashort laser pulses, which is called as plasma cathode, is presented. We have studied generation of relativistic electrons by interaction between a high intensity ultra-short laser pulse and gas jet. When a static magnetic field of 0.2 T is applied, the modification of the preplasma cavity, and significant enhancement of emittance and an increase of the total charge of electron beams produced by a 12 TW, 40 fs laser pulse tightly focused in a He gas jet, were observed. And very high stability and reproducibility of the characteristics and position of well-collimated electron beams was detected. Now we are planning to experiment with a magnetic circuit that has more intense magnetic field of 1 T. The present report aims at presenting these experimental and analytical results.
