Description
DESY is pursuing an ambitious laser-plasma injector option for its future PETRA IV synchrotron. The plasma injector will deliver 6 GeV electron beams for direct injection into the ring, offering a significant reduction in footprint and energy consumption.
We will present the conceptual design and development roadmap and discuss technology challenges including drive laser and plasma accelerator performance. Furthermore, we will discuss experimental steps towards realization: this includes the recent demonstration of active energy compression, that delivered sub-permille energy stability beams already suitable for injection at lower energies, and progress on a prototype plasma injector for the PETRA III synchrotron.
