Dual-stage gas target for laser plasma electron acceleration

The device serves as a gas target for stable laser plasma electron acceleration (LWFA). It combines the technologies of supersonic micro nozzle and a gas cell. An independent gas flow control at each stage provides a highly flexible control of injection and acceleration processes. The target is also optimized for low gas load into the vacuum chamber.

FEATURES:

Variable gas cell length: possibly up to 1m long
Stainless steel body with side windows
Various adapters for connection with valves
Robust solid body of the target
Separate gas inlets for each stage
Low manufacturing costs

BENEFITS:

Large scalability
Easy diagnostics of the inner plasma processes at both stages of the target
Easy to connect with the high speed valves commonly used in the laser plasma community
Easy to use and damage resistant solution
Can be used ionisation injected LWFA
Set of various lengths and few pieces per kind can be ordered

APPLICATIONS:

Laser based electron acceleration beamlines in research infrastructures
X-ray sources driven by relativistic electron beams
Laser-based beamlines
