초록/해제  
요약This thesis describes the results of four experiments using Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) to generate highly relativistic electron beams. These beams were subsequently used to optimize beam energy and relative energy spread, develop a novel spectral diagnostic for these systems, and conduct applied studies into the current filamentation instability and positron generation.The first experiment described in this thesis demonstrates shock injection of electrons into a laser wakefield accelerator producing high energy (E 1 GeV) and low relative energy spread (∆E/E 10%) electron beams. This shock injection technique was optimized through a scan of the position of the shock-producing blade, and an average increase in charge, an increase in relative energy spread, and a decrease in maximum energy with an increase of the shock position toward the center of the accelerator's length is measured.The second work detailed in this thesis demonstrates the angular streaking of a laser driver due to transverse plasma density gradients from a supersonic gas jet along the propagation length of a wakefield accelerator to measure the angular dependence of the critical energy of the resulting betatron X-ray beams emitted from the trapped LWFA electron beams. The critical energy of radiation from the betatron oscillations of the electron beam correlates with electron beam energy within the accelerator. This work uses this fact to describe a novel diagnostic technique for measuring temporally resolved on-shot electron beam energy gain.Beams produced via LWFA were used to study the development of the Weibel-like relativistic current filamentation instability by propagating them into an independently controlled filamentation cell with parametrically scanned length, plasma density, and ionizing gas species. We find a general agreement with the predicted relative amount of growth of the instability, with deviations explainable through statistical fluctuations and nonlinear behavior in the highly developed filamentation parameter space.The first demonstration of an LWFA electron beam source of positrons with sufficient spectral and spatial quality to be injected into a plasma accelerator is reported in this work. Selection and transport of positron beamlets containing Ne+ ≥ 105 positrons in a 5% bandwidth around 600 MeV with inherent femtosecond-scale duration and micron-scale normalized emittance is shown. While the ∼ 16 fC positron beams have relatively low charge compared to the nC's of charge from conventional accelerator sources, the charge of the beams produced from similar LWFA sources is expected to scale favorably with increasing laser driver power. Numerical simulations show the feasibility of these beams to be injected and further accelerated via LWFA.The results presented in this thesis should help LWFA experiments to improve the spectral qualities of the electron beams they produce, control the filamentation of these beams due to propagation in plasma media, and provide relativistic positron beams suitable for positron wakefield acceleration.
