Outline of Research at the Start

The first single-shot measurement of the 3D charge density distribution of the electron bunches from laser wakefield acceleration will be conducted by using a newly designed “TR-EO” technique. The electron transverse and longitudinal profile will be reconstructed from OTR image and EO sampling, simultaneously. This research will have broad impact to studies of accelerator and THz optics.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The first single shot measurement of the 3D density profile of the electron bunches from laser wakefield acceleration has been conducted by using the "TR-EO" technique. Both experiments and numerical studies have been carried out. The detailed 3D structure was reconstructed with genetic algorithm. The goal of this proposal has been fully accomplished.
For the experimental aspect: Optical transition radiation (OTR) imaging and electro-optic (EO) sampling were conducted simultaneously, for the transverse and longitudinal measurements of the electron bunch, respectively.
For the theoretical aspect: I have conducted systematic studies on the process of OTR imaging and EO spatial decoding.
Two papers have been published and several oral presentations have been given.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.

Reason

Due to the experimental experience and numerical effort from my previous KAKENHI No. 21K17998, the experiments and numerical studies of this proposal have been carried out very smoothly. Very detailed numerical studies have been carried out. The calculation code for data analysis has been fully vectorized for the fast processing. Highly advanced experiments have been conducted. The 3D shape of the electron bunch was detected by simultaneously performing optic transition radiation imaging and electro-optic sampling. Detailed 3D structures to few micrometer levels were reconstructed using a genetic algorithm.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

The goal of this proposal has been fully accomplished. Both experimental and numerical studies have been carried out. The results have been published on high-impact professional journals.
However, genetic algorithms were used to solve the inverse problem in the data analysis. It was time consuming. For the next step, I plan to perform machine learning on the whole detection system to speed up the process. In this way, it is possible to realize the real-time electron bunch 3D detection during the laser wakefield acceleration experiment.
