摘要
Stable, with a narrow energy band <3%, and energy selectable, from 1 to 40 MeV, electron beams with charges similar to 1 pC are produced from broadband electron bunches accelerated in the wakefield of femtosecond laser pulses with pulse energy similar to 0.4 J. The beams are extracted with use of energy filtering based on a compact and controllable pulse-driven solenoid. Such a plasma cathode based on laser wakefield acceleration can be used as an injector for the multistage laser wakefield electron acceleration as well as for ultrafast electron imaging systems.
