Abstract

This study investigates the acceleration of a single electron and an electron bunch by an azimuthally polarized (AP) laser pulse in the presence of a helical wiggler and external magnetic field in the form of a hyperbolic tangent (HT) function. The wiggler parameters were optimized to retain betatron resonance for a long time, as a result of which it was found that the optimum values of HT magnetic field strength and its parameter increase the interaction length. The laser fields, the wiggler magnetic field, and the HT magnetic field cooperatively helped cause the generation of the high energetic electrons. Finally, highly energetic electrons were obtained with a mean energy of about 2 GeV and an extremely low mean scattering angle of 0.82 ∘ , and an acceleration gradient of about 42 GeV/m.
