FREE ELECTRON LASER & HIGH BRILLIANT ELECTRON BEAMS. @ USAL and CLPU from February 2021
(1 ECTS credits granted)
- Introduction
The Laser-Plasma Chair at USAL develops a laser-plasma physics investigation related to the CLPU experimental activity. Experiments are performed at CLPU and abroad in collaboration with internationally recognized scientific groups.
The Laser-Plasma chair at USAL form young scientist in the field of High Power Lasers plasmas and particle-radiation beams
Within this action, we present the 1st course on Free Electron Laser & High Brilliant Electron beams
- Course program
The Free Electron Laser (FEL) can produce radiation pulsed with high peak brilliance and with photons’ energies ranging from the VUV to the hard X-ray i.e from 10 eV (120 nm) up to 10 keV (0.12 nm).
These special proprieties of the FEL come from its basic design which is different from that of common atomic and molecular lasers
Nowadays different FEL machines are present in the world focused on different wavelength emissions. In particular, two X-ray FEL are operating in USA and EU coupled with other laser sources and opening different
FEL dynamic needs to be described by classical or quantum theory depending on the main parameter conditions and the threshold between the two descriptions is ruled by the FEL parameter r.
- Electron beam dynamic
- The classical theory of Free Electron laser
- Alternative schemes (Quantum regime & From Magnetic to Laser wiggler)
