The invention belongs to the technical field of
laser accelerators, and particularly relates to a wedge-shaped supersonic gas target for a
laser accelerator, which comprises a target body and a base, the upper end face and the lower end face of the target body are respectively provided with a gas
nozzle and a gas inlet, a wedge-shaped cavity is arranged in the target body, and the wedge-shaped cavity is respectively communicated with the gas inlet and the gas
nozzle. The
density distribution of the supersonic gas jet jetted from the gas jet hole in the
laser transmission direction is in positive gradient distribution; the target body is arranged on a base, and the base is provided with a slit matched with the air inlet. According to the wedge-shaped supersonic gas target conforming to the
electron transport characteristic of the laser accelerator, the
density distribution of supersonic gas jet in the laser transmission direction is in positive gradient distribution, and the gas density can be continuously increased; the phase loss effect of phase mismatching generated by the
electron beam is avoided, the energy and monoenergy of the
electron beam are effectively improved, and the high-quality electron beam is provided for the laser accelerator in the aspects of ultrafast
radiation source driving, ultrafast process diagnosis, high-resolution imaging and the like.
