  2. 1. Studies on high brightness electron beams for short pulses and free electron laser

    Author : Sara Thorin; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bunch compression; sub-ps pulses; X-rays; High brightness electron beam; free electron laser; electron accelerator; collective effects.;

    Abstract : Accelerator based lightsources are one of the most powerful tools today for producing high intensity radiation at very short wavelengths. While synchrotron storage rings provide a high average brilliance in a wide wavelength range, the next generation of lightsources aim towards producing ultra-short pulses in the X-ray regime.

  4. 2. Efficiency Enhancement Techniques for Free-Electron Lasers

    Author : Alan Mak; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-electron laser; accelerator physics; efficiency enhancement; undulator tapering; phase jump method; synchrotron radiation; Fysicumarkivet:2017:Mak;

    Abstract : The central question addressed in this thesis is how to make the free-electron laser (FEL) more efficient. In recent years, coherent diffraction imaging provides an important motivation for efficiency enhancement. This is because a more efficient FEL process enables converting a larger fraction of the electron beam's power into optical power. READ MORE

  5. 3. Probing and improving coherence in Free-electron lasers

    Author : Mihai Pop; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Accelerators; Free electron laser; Synchrotron radiation; Coherence; Young double-slit; spectrum analysis; Simulations;

    Abstract : Free electron lasers or FELs, have transformed the way science has been done in the last decades by providing coherent, highly brilliant radiation at wavelengths not achievable with conventional lasers. Their most important characteristic, along side brightness, is their coherence, which allows users to perform experiments that rely on precise phase characteristics of the probing radiation.

  6. 4. Zone Plates for Hard X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers

    Author : Daniel Nilsson; Ulrich Vogt; Thomas Tschentscher; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray optics; Zone plates; XFEL; x-rays; free-electron laser; heat transfer;

    Abstract : Hard x-ray free-electron lasers are novel sources of coherent x-rays with unprecedented brightness and very short pulses. The radiation from these sources enables a wide range of new experiments that were not possible with previous x-ray sources. Many of these experiments require the possibility to focus the intense x-ray beam onto small samples. READ MORE

  7. 5. Extreme Electron Beams and Brilliant X-rays : Generation, Manipulation and Characterization of Relativistic Electron Beams for and from Plasma-Based Accelerators

    Author : Jonas Björklund Svensson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; plasma; wakefield; acceleration; accelerator; relativistic; electrons; x-rays; ultra-fast; betatron; laser-wakefield acceleration; plasma-wakefield acceleration; Fysicumarkivet A:2020:Björklund;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on work done by the author on the development of plasma-based electron accelerators driven by ultra-intense laser pulses and dense electron bunches. Plasma based accelerators have several benefits, such as accelerating fields around 1000 times stronger than in “conventional” radio-frequency accelerators, which can allow for shrinking the overall footprint of the accelerator.
