We investigate the parameters of accelerated electron bunch in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), when a skewed laser pulse propagates through a plasma in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Two dimensional particle-in-cell (2D-PIC) simulations have been performed under the consideration of pulse skewness parameter (sα=τl/τt) that is defined as the ratio of leading (τl) to trailing pulse edge (τt) duration. The injected charge is estimated as 23 pC for the laser strength parameter a0=2 when sα changes from 1 to 0.45 at a laser propagation distance of 1.5 mm with 50T magnetic field. The electron beam emittance reduces about 50% when leading edge of the pulse becomes two-fold sharper (sα=0.45) with 50T magnetic field. Energy spread of accelerated electron bunch is also reduced from 18 to 6.6%. Hence, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, the laser pulse skewness can significantly improve the quality of the accelerated electron bunch (i.e. charge, mean energy and emittance) in laser wakefield acceleration.

利用偏斜激光脉冲和外部磁场研究激光尾波加速中的电子束参数

当偏斜的激光脉冲在存在横向磁场的情况下通过等离子体传播时,我们研究了在激光尾波加速(LWFA)中加速电子束的参数。在考虑脉冲偏斜参数的情况下进行了二维单元格内粒子(2D-PIC)仿真sα=τ/τŤ 定义为领先的比率 τ 到脉冲后沿 τŤ期间。对于激光强度参数,注入的电荷估计为23 pC一个0=2个 什么时候 sα在50T磁场下,激光传播距离为1.5 mm时,从1变为0.45。当脉冲的前沿变得更清晰时,电子束发射率降低约50%sα=0.45具有50T磁场。加速电子束的能量扩散也从18降低到6.6%。因此,在存在横向磁场的情况下,激光脉冲偏斜度可以显着提高激光尾场加速中加速电子束的质量(即电荷,平均能量和发射率)。
