  A plasma undulator is formed when a short laser pulse is injected into plasma off-axis or at an angle that causes the centroid of this laser pulse to oscillate. Ponderomotively driven plasma wake will follow this centroid given that the product of the plasma wave number and the characteristic Rayleigh length of the laser is much larger than one. This oscillating transverse wakefield may work as an undulator forcing particles to follow sinusoidal trajectories and emit synchrotron radiation. In this paper, plans for an experiment are introduced and resulting radiation and injected beam characteristics are discussed. The aforementioned laser centroid oscillations are demonstrated using, EPOCH, a PIC code for laser-plasma interactions.

  Dielectric lined waveguides have drawn interest due to their application as high gradient accelerating structures, in both externally driven and wakefield schemes. We present simulation studies of sub-picosecond electron bunches interacting with dielectric structures in the self-wake regime. The parameter space for a tunable, sub-millimeter aperture, terahertz frequency structure is investigated. The potential application as a longitudinal phase space dechirper is demonstrated, with specific application to CLARA at Daresbury Laboratory. The impact of transverse effects is considered and minimised. The resulting FEL output is simulated.
