Electron bunch compression using a laser-plasma compressor
A new scheme for the compression of electron bunches is proposed. This scheme uses a plasma wave generated by a high intensity laser pulse to compress an electron bunch produced by a typical rf photogun. In the scheme, the electron bunch is injected into a plasma channel in front of the high intensi...
