Polarized electron-beam acceleration driven by vortex laser pulses

Polarized electron-beam acceleration driven by vortex laser pulses

We propose a new approach based on an all-optical set-up for generating relativistic polarized electron beams via vortex Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) laser-driven wakefield acceleration. Using a pre-polarized gas target, we find that the topology of the vortex wakefield resolves the depolarization issue o...
