Why alternative techniques ?

• Accelerating field in cavities limited to 50 MV/m by breakdown
LHC at CERN is 27 km circumference
ILC (electron-positron collider at several 100 GeVs), will be a LINAC, about 30 km long
• Use plasmas with much higher electric fields: > 100 GV/m
RF cavity: 1 m Plasma wave over 1 mm
Ez = 10-100 MV/m Ez = 10-100 GV/m
Motivation for alternative techniques

Hamiltonian’s basic properties
• New Hamiltonian is then:
• Define the momentum conjugate to the position (or canonical
momentum)
• In our case, q=-qe and A is a transverse laser field. This translates in
normalized units into
• Hamiltonian expressed in terms of canonical momentum

Hamiltonian’s basic properties
• From Hamilton’s equations, one finds that in 1D the transverse
canonical momentum is conserved (constant of motion)
• For electrons initially at rest in front of the laser pulse, Cste=0 and

Trajectories in the wakefield
• The Hamiltonian does not depend on time constant of motion H0
We want to find the electron trajectories in phase space: uz(z)
• Solving the Hamiltonian for uz, one finds
• 2nd degree polynomial equation with solution
• If a(z) and f(z) and H0 are known then the initial conditions are
known the trajectory in phase space uz(z) is known

trajectory gets closer to the separatrix
• 1D wavebreaking occurs when fluid and separatrix overlap
• All plasma electrons are then injected and accelerated
