Introduction
JAERI Laser Electron Acceleration Project(2005-2009)
• Demonstration of 1GeV Acceleration
Bubble/blow-out, Fast-Z pinch capillary waveguide,..
• High quality beam production
• Application
- keV X-ray source (compact)
We plan to use wakefield as an undulator
- Pump-probe experiment (Ultrafast science)
5
Route to quasi-monoenergetic electrons
• Bubble regime Blow-out regime
Scaling laws
• Length matching L=Ldp (L=n Ldp n:integer is ok?)

Although 2D simulation underestimates the maximum energy when self-focusing happens, qualitative estimation is valid.

Summary
• Theoretical investigation of energy distribution is performed, and qualitatively reproduce experimental data.
• Parameter survey will be done around ‘Bubble / Blow-out regime/’ with JAERI 100 TW, 23 fs laser. – Laser and target chamber improvement is under way.
• Control of gas-distribution and prepulse are important for electron acceleration.
– We are developing Gas-jet-nozzle in order to control particle injection and acceleration for relatively small lasers.
