Classical relativistic Monte Carlo simulations of petawatt laser acceleration of electrons bound initially in hydrogen-like, highly-charged ions show that both the angles and energies of the laseraccelerated electrons depend on the initial ion positions with respect to the laser focus. Electrons bound in ions located after the laser focus generally acquire higher (%GeV) energies and are ejected at smaller angles with respect to the laser beam. Our simulations assume a tightly-focused linearly-polarized laser pulse with intensity approaching 10 22 W/cm 2 . Up to fifth order corrections to the paraxial approximation of the laser field in the focal region are taken into account. In addition to the laser intensity, the Rayleigh length in the focal region is shown to play a significant role in maximizing the final energy of the accelerated electrons. Results are presented for both Ne

“…Laser-driven plasma-based electron acceleration is one of the promising methods for obtaining high energy electron beams of good quality. [3][4][5][6][7] Recently, multi-GeV electron beams have been produced using laser wakefield 8,9 and plasma waveguide 10,11 accelerators. Vacuum acceleration is another means for producing high energy electrons.…”

The wakefield excitation and electron acceleration is investigated in the presence of laser pulse with and without frequency-chirp in an under-dense plasma via particle in cell simulation. For this purpose, first 1D model of laser wakefield acceleration is revisited. The analytical expressions for the longitudinal wake-potential and wakefield generated behind the laser pulse are obtained. The results show that the wake-fields excited by laser pulses are strongly dependent on the chirp parameter. These results could be very useful as a starting point for optimization studies for a real LWFA experiment.
