MOZB1 | First Results with the Novel Peta-Watt Laser Acceleration Facility in Dresden | 48 |
|
||
Applications of laser plasma accelerated particle beams ranging from driving of light sources to radiation therapy require the scaling of beam energy and charge as well as reproducible operating conditions. Both issues have motivated the development of novel table-top class Petawatt laser systems (e.g., 30J pulse energy in 30fs) with unprecedented pulse control, here represented by the Draco-PW system recently commissioned at HZDR Dresden. First results will be presented on laser wakefield electron acceleration where in the beam loading regime high bunch charges in the nC range could be efficiently accelerated with good beam quality, and on proton acceleration where pulsed magnet beam transport ensured depth dose distributions allowing for tumor irradiation in animal models. | ||

Laser Cooling of Relativistic Heavy Ion Beams | |
|
||
At high energies laser cooling is a very promising technique to reduce phase space of beams of high energy ions effciently and fast. With the advent of new facilities such as FAIR and HIAF research focuses on developing robust laser cooling setups. This requires an understanding of the underlying beam dynamics at high beam intensities, the development of reliable laser systems that can be used to cool a large variety of ion species and optical detection systems that complement standard accelerator beam diagnostics. Based on the lessons learned from ongoing experiments at the ESR at GSI, Darmstadt, and the CSRe at IMP, Lanzhou, the important design aspects of future laser cooling installations will be discussed. The talk will follow a how-to approach to discuss key design aspects of laser cooling setups and emphasize the important connection between advanced beam dynamics studies and optical control and diagnostics. | ||
