2 MIPSE 2010.09.292  Linac Coherent Light Source (SLAC) ◦ 3 km total length ◦ $379M upgrade ◦ 100 fs x-ray pulses @ 120 Hz ◦ up to 8 keV  Advanced Photon Source (ANL) ◦ Spectral brightness 5x10 19 photons/s/mm 2 /mrad 2 /0.1%BW up to 40 keV  Advanced Light Source (LBNL)  Diamond (U.K.)  European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (France) lcls.slac.standford.edu

3  Introduction to Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) and radiation generation  Characterization of synchrotron radiation  Radiography demonstration MIPSE 2010.09.293

4 MIPSE 2010.09.294  The ponderomotive force of the laser expels electrons.  The stationary ions provide a restoring force, so that electrons behind the laser oscillate at the plasma frequency.  Electrostatic fields as strong as 100 GeV/m due to space charge Color indicates electron density e-e-

5 MIPSE 2010.09.295  With ultrashort laser pulses, a regime can be reached in which all electrons are expelled, leaving a single spherical ion bubble.  The electrostatic field provides a strong accelerating force as well as a centripetal radial force.

7  Introduction to Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) and radiation generation  Characterization of synchrotron radiation  Radiography demonstration MIPSE 2010.09.297

8 MIPSE 2010.09.298 S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins, et al. accepted to Nat. Phys.  Radiation collimated in 11 mrad beam  Radiographs resolve features as thin as 5 µm

9 MIPSE 2010.09.299 S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins, et al. accepted to Nat. Phys.  Peak spectral brilliance is 10 23 ph/s/mrad 2 /mm 2 /0.1%BW due to high degree of collimation and assumed 30 fs duration

10 MIPSE 2010.09.2910 S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins, et al. accepted to Nat. Phys.  Cleaved crystal casts shadow on detector  Source size can be determined by steepness of shadow  Best fit to 2.1±0.7 µm HWHM source size

11  Introduction to Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) and radiation generation  Characterization of synchrotron radiation  Radiography demonstration MIPSE 2010.09.2911

12 MIPSE 2010.09.2912

13 MIPSE 2010.09.2913

14  LWFA can merge a ~100m accelerator + ~m undulator into a single ~cm stage.  X-ray peak brilliance is comparable to existing accelerator facilities.  Radiographs demonstrate phase-contrast imaging, few μm features resolved.  This source cannot compete with the rep-rate or scale of a user facility accelerator, but could be useful for university or single-user facilities.
