This thesis establishes an exciting new beginning for Laser
Plasma Accelerators (LPAs) to further develop toward the next
generation of compact high energy accelerators.
Design, installation and commissioning of a new experimental
setup at LBNL played an important role and are detailed through
three critical components: e-beam production, reflection of laser
pulses with a plasma mirror and large wake excitation below
electron injection threshold.
Pulses from a 40 TW peak power laser system were split into a 25
TW pulse and a 15 TW pulse. The first pulse was used for e-beam
production in the first module and the second pulse was used for
wake excitation in the second module to post-accelerate the e-beam.
As a result, reliable e-beam production and efficient wake
excitation necessary for the staged acceleration were independently
demonstrated.
These experiments have laid the foundation for future staging
experiments at the 40 TW peak power level.
