Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The UK Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC) intends to flexibly provide laser-accelerated GeV-scale electrons to a wide array of experiments and like other such facilities must efficiently capture them from a laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA) source. Here we describe a unique, modular beam capture optics system based on a FODO array of Halbach permanent-magnet quadrupoles and show how that modular arrangement can be used in different configurations to provide energy-selected and focused bunches for different purposes. We present an engineering concept for the beamline that incorporates diagnostics and drive laser extraction and describe the effect of field errors and misalignments and their mitigation.
