Laser wakefield accelerators have the prospect to become the next generation of particle accelerators. A high intensity laser pulse generates a large amplitude plasma wave, which can accelerate particles at a rate more than thousands of times faster than conventional accelerators. As well as making the next generation of linear accelerator for high energy physics possible, this type of accelerator can have a range of other applications in technology and science. This studentship will investigate the development of a compact system that can generate electron beams in the 100's MeV energy range in the basement of the Blackett Laboratory. This system would be tested for a number of applications including generation of high energy particles and a driver for intense radiation and other light source applications.

激光韦克菲尔德加速器具有成为下一代粒子加速器的前景。高强度激光脉冲产生大振幅等离子体波，可以以比传统加速器快数千倍的速度加速粒子。除了使下一代高能物理直线加速器成为可能外，这种类型的加速器还可以在技术和科学方面有一系列其他应用。这个学生将研究一个紧凑的系统，可以产生电子束在100兆电子伏的能量范围内在布莱克特实验室的地下室的发展。该系统将被测试用于许多应用，包括产生高能粒子和用于强辐射的驱动器以及其他光源应用。
