Thermal emittance from ionization-induced trapping in plasma accelerators

Thermal emittance from ionization-induced trapping in plasma accelerators

The minimum obtainable transverse emittance (thermal emittance) of electron beams generated and trapped in plasma-based accelerators using laser ionization injection is examined. The initial transverse phase space distribution following ionization and passage through the laser is derived, and expres...
