Abstract
A unique facility for laser plasma physics and advanced accelerator research has recently been built at Tsinghua University. This system is based on a Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source (TTX), which combines an ultrafast TW laser with a synchronized 45 MeV high brightness linac. In our recent laser wakefield acceleration experiments, we have obtained 10–40 MeV high quality monoenergetic electron beams by running the laser at 5 TW peak power. Under certain conditions a very low relative energy spread of a few percent can be achieved. Absolute charge calibration for three different scintillating screens has also been performed using the linac system.
