Chirp Mitigation of Plasma-Accelerated Beams by a Modulated Plasma Density
Chirp Mitigation of Plasma-Accelerated Beams by a Modulated Plasma Density
Plasma-based accelerators offer the possibility to drive future compact light sources and high-energy physics applications. Achieving good beam quality, especially a small beam energy spread, is still one of the major challenges. Here, we propose to use a periodically modulated plasma density to shape the longitudinal fields acting on an …
