Status report of the ESCULAP project at Orsay: External injection of low energy electrons in a Plasma

The ESCULAP project aims at studying external injection of low energy (\SI{10}{MeV}) electrons in a plasma in the quasilinear regime. This facility will use the photo injector PHIL and the high power laser LASERIX. We will give a status report of the preliminary work on the facility and the status of the two machines. We will also present the results of simulations showing the expected performances of the facility.

Simulations of the Acceleration of Externally Injected Electrons in a Plasma Excited in the Linear Regime

We have investigated numerically the coupling between a 10 \si{MeV} electron bunch of high charge (\SI{> 100}{pc}) with a laser generated accelerating plasma wave. Our results show that a high efficiency coupling can be achieved using a \SI{50}{TW}, \SI{100}{\micro \meter} wide laser beam, yielding accelerating field above \SI{1}{ GV/m}. We propose an experiment where these predictions could be tested.
