1 Experiments towards high-efficiency high-power plasma amplification using existing resources and installations 1 Thomas Kuehl GSI Helmholtz Center Darmstadt Helmholtz Institute Jena JoGu University Mainz IZEST- Workshop Livermore July
2 Outline Some basic remarks on SRS Some status on present experiments from Strathclyde,RAL and Jena/GSI PHELIX as another good candidate for high energy SRS development
3 3 Where to go... Revolutioniary new physics at higher intensities Particle physics Acceleration... [Mourou, Optics Com., 285, 2012]
4 FAIR A key laboratory for HED and ultrahigh field physics! SIS 100 /300 APPA Cave
5 Chirped-pulse amplification short pulse oscillator t dispersive delay line solid state amplifier(s) t Chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) becomes problematic due to damash isues in the compressor pulse compressor t t 5
6 Alternative solution:
7 SRS Constraints Pump beam: thermal plasma wave pump Raman Forward Scattering (RFS) Seed beam: seed RFS modulational instability filamentation, self focusing Plasma wave: wave breaking Landau damping 7
8 8 SRS Amplification Instabilities efficiently suppressed by low intensity and moderate plasma density. Pump chirp and density gradient can also help. Growth rate: Γ = k 4 c a 0 ω pe ω ek ω 0 ω ek 1 2 a 0 = λ μm I W/cm 2 ω pe ~ n e plasma frequency, e- density ω ek = ω 2 pe + 3 k 2 v 2 e v e electron velocity Need high intensity and high density to increase efficiency.
9 To Do List: Test the influence of small scale perturbations of the laser and plasma properties (plasma density, pulse energy, pointing) on the amplification process. Measure the ASE contrast and existence of pre-pulses to identify their roles in SRBS Identify the conditions for the onset of non-linear and competing processes, which limit the amplification Estimate the parameters for the onset of amplified post pulses due to Burnham Chiao ringing and suppress these by control the interaction length. Compare experimental scaling laws with those predicted by PIC simulations and Vlasov based codes. Compare amplification of wide pump pulses with energies of up to 10 s of Joules, to estimate the scaling.
