Description
Laser-plasma acceleration (LPA) will be at the core of next-generation accelerators. Advancing LPA core technolgies, including the development of high average power drive lasers, is an integral part of DESYs accelerator R&D. Recently, we started to investigate a plasma based injector as an alternative technology option for our future PETRA IV synchrotron. Here, we will discuss the basic concept of the plasma injector and update on its progress and future plans.
