报告内容:

At ELI ALPS we have two beamlines for laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), eSYLOS, and ePW. SYLOS laser systems generate approximately 40-100mJ laser pulses at 1kHz with a pulse duration of 9~13 fs at the central wavelength of 850 nm with a bandwidth of about 300 nm. The eSYLOS beamline was commissioned and has been available for external users since 2024 via regular ELI ERIC user calls. Electron beams from eSYLOS are up to 50 MeV 1pC per shot (~1nC/s) 10 mrad divergence angle and operating at 1kHz repetition rate. The eSYLOS beams are highly stabilized in terms of beam parameters especially, the beam pointing angle and average energy spectrum allowing for some applications. User applications of the 1kHz operation of eSYLOS are currently in the areas of radiobiology and positron beam generation for industrial benefits.

On the other hand, ePW beamline is the high-energy LWFA beamline at ELI ALPS; it is currently under commissioning and is expected to be announced for external users in 2026. The ePW accelerator is driven by the Ti: Sapphire High-Field PW laser system which is planned to be operating at 30 J output energy at 10 Hz repetition rate in its final phase of operation (2026-2027), allowing for applications such as fast- betatron X-ray computerized tomography for basic and applied research. Currently, the HF-PW laser system delivers 7-10 J laser pulse energy after compression ~21 fs pulse duration at a 2.5 Hz repetition rate. The ePW focusing OAP is an f/50 focusing with an available 25 fs plasma probing beam for online interferometry and shadowgraphy. The design of the ePW LWFA system provides a wide range of fundamental and applied research areas, including 2.5~10 Hz microcomputed tomography of objects using 10s keV betatron X-rays expected to be produced with the ePW's GeV-class electron beams. The ePW beamline also allows for multi-beam LWFA experiments as well as the inverse-Compton Scattering/collision of TW laser pulses with GeV electron beams for QED investigations and other areas of LWFAs of multi-GeV electron beams.

In this seminar the speaker will discuss the above topics.
