Abstract

Localized injection of electrons within a relativistic plasma wake can potentially produce an ultrashort, monoenergetic electron bunch. Recent experiments at the FACET facility at SLAC explored the injection of helium electrons at the helium-lithium interface of a lithium heat pipe oven and the subsequent acceleration in the beam-produced plasma wake. Electrons accelerated to over 10 GeV in 30 cm of plasma were observed as a distinct charge bunch.
