Laser Plasma Module in the Space Charge Tracking Code ASTRA — •Irene Dornmair¹, Klaus Floettmann², and Andreas R. Maier¹ — ¹Center for Free-Electron Laser Science & Department of Physics, University of Hamburg, 22761 Hamburg — ²Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg

Due to their high accelerating gradients, laser-plasma accelerators (LPA) have experienced a surge of popularity over the last few years. On the quest for improved beam quality as well as for stability, also the external injection of electron beams from conventional, RF-based accelerators into LPA stages has been pursued. In the hereby typically employed linear wakefield regime the wakefield can easily be described by analytical models. We present the integration of a plasma module using the linear wakefield model into the well-known space charge tracking code ASTRA. This allows for efficient and fast estimations of the beam dynamics in an LPA stage, as well as for parameter scans and for jitter studies.
