Overview • Short intense laser pulse is needed for: • to create a 100% ionized plasma • moving ionization front is a source of perturbation for proton-laser instability (micro-bunching and wake-field with a stable phase) • Plan for the Laser system: • First it is delivered to MPP Munich for plasma experiments - mid 2014 • Then it goes to CERN - Autumn 2015 M.Martyanov, CERN
Overview • Laser system comprises: - laser with 2 beams (for plasma and for the e-gun) - delay line is possible in either one of these beams - focusing telescope (lenses, in air), long 40m focusing - optical compressor (in vacuum) - small optical in-air compressor and 3rd harmonics generator for e-gun • Laser parameters for plasma: - max energy 450 mJ - pulse duration 120 fs after compression - max beam diameter 40 mm Only reflective optics on the way Rule of thumb (B<1): I[GW/cm2]L[cm]<36 M.Martyanov, CERN
Laser System Base-line • Laser, Telescope and Compressor are in the laser room • Focusing down to 40 meters to the center of the plasma • Back solution: Compressor and Telescope are next tomerging point in the proton tunnel • Focusing down to 25 meters to the center of the plasma • Question is if this possible? Crucial points are: • Focusability of the laser beam down to 40 meters, ionization dynamics, diffraction? • No detailed information on the laser system yet (beam quality) • The placement of the optical compressor and the focusing telescope has an impact on the position of the anew drilled connection tunnel • Availability of vacuum components for the compressor and telescope is under study. • 10-6Torr “easily” achievable. Pellicle or differential pumping as an option to go better M.Martyanov, CERN
Scope of Laser Line WP • Laser room preparation • Clean room, cooling and ventilation, facilities • Access control • Laser transfer line to the plasma cell • HV vacuum line • Remote control of the mirrors • Laser beam position monitoring • Laser transfer line to the photo-gun • Fore-vacuum line • Remote control of the mirrors • Laser beam position monitoring • In-air compressor and 3rd harmonic generation <- Electron source WP • Laser installation • Laser arrangement on the tables • Integration to the AWAKE environment M.Martyanov, CERN
