Description:
Author(s): J. Vieira, J. T. Mendonça, and F. Quéré We propose a twisted plasma accelerator capable of generating relativistic electron vortex beams with helical current profiles. The angular momentum of these vortex bunches is quantized, dominates their transverse motion, and results in spiraling particle trajectories around the twisted wakefield. W... [Phys. Rev.
