TI - Studies for a Laser Wakefield Driven Injector at ELSA J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - At the University of Bonn, Germany, the storage ring ELSA extracts electrons with energies up to 3.2 GeV to hadron physics and novel detector testing experiments. We study the feasibility of replacing the current 26 MeV LINAC injector with a laser wakefield accelerator (LWA). For this, contemporary parameters from current LWA setups at other laboratories are assumed and matched to the acceptance of the booster synchrotron. Moreover, a conceptional draft of a potential LWA setup is created. This takes into consideration the influence of building conditions such as available floor space and building vibrations to estimate a setup and laser beam stability of a plasma generating high power laser system and beamline to the plasma cell. The methods and intermediate results of this study will be presented.
