Abstract

The Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL ATF) offers to its users a unique combination of research tools that include a high-brightness 70-MeV electron beam, a mid-infrared (λ = 10 μm) CO₂ laser of terawatt power, and a capillary discharge as a plasma source. These cutting-edge technologies have enabled us to launch a new R&D program at the forefronts of advanced accelerators and radiation sources. The main subjects that we are researching are innovative methods of producing wakes in a linear regime using plasma resonance with the electron microbunch train periodic to the laser's wavelength and so-called "seeded" laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) that is driven and probed by a combination of electron and laser beams. We describe the present status of the ATF experimental program, including simulations and preliminary experiments; in addition, we review previous ATF experiments that were the precursors to the present program. They encompass our demonstration of longitudinal-and transverse-field phasing inside the plasma wave, plasma channeling of intense CO₂ laser beams, and the generation of e-beam microbunch trains by the inverse FEL technique.
