High-charge collimated and energy-selected laser-driven MeV electron beams produced by magnetic selection

Abstract

We have developed a compact passive energy-selector for MeV-range electrons produced by irradiating solid targets by ultra-intense short-pulse lasers. The device allows for generating electron beams with a variable energy spread over a broad range of energies, from tens of keV to tens of MeV. Here we have demonstrated its use by producing electrons from solid targets in the MeV range and with a ~10% bandwidth, thereby compensating the intrinsic broadband nature of the electrons produced from such source. Coupled with a pulsed magnetic field to further compensate the intrinsic large divergence of this source, it allows to produce a highly-collimated beam of narrow-band and ultra-fast electrons, suitable for a wide range of applications, e.g. radiation therapy or time-resolved electron probing.
