Abstract:
A model was developed and tested for studying the dynamics of spin precession and trajectories of charged particles in the wake fields generated in a laser-plasma accelerator. The model takes into account the radiation reaction force in the Landau–Lifshits form. An investigation is made of the effect of synchrotron radiation on the dynamics of energy gaining and spin precession of electrons accelerated in model constant fields as well as on the particle beam polarisation in the acceleration at a separate acceleration stage in the case of self-consistent description of the nonlinear dynamics of a laser pulse and its generated accelerating and focusing plasma wake fields. It is shown that synchrotron radiation hardly affects the energy gain rate and polarisation of the electrons that are accelerated in the fields characteristic for a moderately nonlinear mode of laser-plasma acceleration up to an energy of 3.8 TeV.
Keywords:
laser-plasma acceleration, electron polarisation, betatron oscillations, synchrotron radiation.
