Title: Bunched Beam Injection in a Plasma Accelerator
Abstract: An experiment on phase‐locked injection of ∼100 fs electron bunches in a plasma beat wave accelerator is presented. We consider using an IFEL microbunching technique to produce ultrashort electron bunches prebunched at the exact wavelength of the plasma wave 340 μm (∼1THz). It is proposed to generate 100 MW of 1 THz radiation by difference frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal, mixing the same two CO2 lines as used to drive the plasma accelerator.
