Electron beam generated by an injector is often characterized by a set of parameters such as rms normalized emittance, bunch length, peak current, energy etc.. For different applications, the requirement for the beam parameters can be very different. In addition, some beam applications require finer control of the electron distribution such as specific shapes for its projection along a...
With accelerating gradients of tens of GeV/m, plasma accelerators have a great potential for replacing RF cavities in future colliders and FEL light sources. However, the beams generated by these accelerators need to satisfy stringent quality metrics before they can be considered for the aforementioned applications. One such metric is the relative energy spread ΔE/E, which needs to be at a...
