Electron acceleration by a circularly polarized Hermite–Gaussian (HG) laser beam in the plasma has been investigated theoretically for the different transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode indices ( m, n ) as (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), and (0, 4). HG laser beam possesses higher trapping force compared with a standard Gaussian beam owing to its propagation characteristics during laser–electron interaction. A single-particle simulation indicates a resonant enhancement in the electron acceleration with HG laser beam. We present the intensity distribution for different TEM modes. We also analyze the dependence of beam width parameter on electron acceleration distance, which effectively influences the electron dynamics. Electron acceleration up to longer distance is observed with the lower modes. However, the higher electron energy gain is observed with higher modes at shorter distance of propagation.

Linear and periodic effects of frequency chirp on electron acceleration by radially polarized (RP) laser pulse in vacuum have been investigated. A frequency chirp influences the electron dynamics, betatron resonance, and energy gain by electron during interaction with the RP laser pulse and ensures effective electron acceleration with high energy gain (~GeV). The electron energy gain with a periodic frequency chirped laser pulse is about twice as high as with a linear chirp. Our observations reveal electron energy gain of about 10.5 GeV with a periodic chirped RP petawatt laser pulse in vacuum.

We present a scheme of electron injection for enhanced electron energy gain by using a radially polarized (RP) laser pulse in vacuum under the influence of magnetic wiggler. The inherent symmetry of an RP laser pulse enforces the trapping and acceleration of electrons in the direction of propagation of laser pulse during laser electron interaction. A magnetic wiggler encircles the trajectory of accelerated electron and improves the strength of v→×B→ force which supports the retaining of betatron resonance for longer duration and leads to enhance electron acceleration. Four times higher electron energy is observed with a RP laser pulse of peak intensity 8.5×1020 W/cm2 in the presence of magnetic wiggler of 10.69 kG than that in the absence of magnetic wiggler. We have also analyzed the electron injection for enhanced energy gain and observe that the electron energy gain is relatively higher with a sideway injection than that of axial injection of electron. Injection angle δ is optimized and found that at ...

Electron injected in the path of a circularly polarized Gaussian laser beam under the influence of an external axial magnetic field is shown to be accelerated with a several GeV of energy in vacuum. A small angle of injection δ with 0∘<δ<20∘ for a sideway injection of electron about the axis of propagation of laser pulse is suggested for better trapping of electron in laser field and stronger betatron resonance under the influence of axial magnetic field. Such an optimized electron injection with axial magnetic field maximizes the acceleration gradient and electron energy gain with low electron scattering.
