Characterization of kHz Repetition Rate Laser-Driven Electron Beams by an Inhomogeneous Field Dipole Magnet Spectrometer

We demonstrate a method to characterize the beam energy, transverse profile, charge, and dose of a pulsed electron beam generated by a 1 kHz TW laser-plasma accelerator. The method is based on imaging with a scintillating screen in an inhomogeneous, orthogonal magnetic field produced by a wide-gap m...

description We demonstrate a method to characterize the beam energy, transverse profile, charge, and dose of a pulsed electron beam generated by a 1 kHz TW laser-plasma accelerator. The method is based on imaging with a scintillating screen in an inhomogeneous, orthogonal magnetic field produced by a wide-gap magnetic dipole. Numerical simulations were developed to reconstruct the electron beam parameters accurately. The method has been experimentally verified and calibrated using a medical LINAC. The energy measurement accuracy in the 6–20 MeV range is proven to be better than 10%. The radiation dose has been calibrated by a water-equivalent phantom, RW3, showing a linear response of the method within 2% in the 0.05–0.5 mGy/pulse range.
