Laser-Plasma Acceleration in Hamburg — •Andreas R. Maier — CFEL, Center for Free-Electron Laser Science

Laser-plasma accelerators promise ultra-compact sources of highly relativistic electron beams, especially suited for driving novel x-ray light sources. The stability and reproducability of laser-plasma generated beams however, is still not comparable to conventional machines. Within the LAOLA Collaboration, the University of Hamburg and DESY work closely together towards stable plasma-driven electron beams. In my talk, I will report on the recently commissioned 200 TW laser ANGUS and new beamlines currently being set up in Hamburg, and will review experimental activities, including external injection, and plasma-driven undulators.
