Description
Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) has emerged as a groundbreaking technique capable of achieving ultrahigh acceleration gradients exceeding 100 GV/m, enabling the development of compact, tabletop particle accelerators. The practical application of LWFA critically depends on the generation of high-quality and stable electron beams. In this presentation, we report the latest progress from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) in optimizing electron beam quality and stability in LWFA. By engineering tailored plasma density profiles and controlling laser evolution in plasma, we demonstrate precise phase-space manipulation of electron beams, leading to significant improvements in beam properties.
