Abstract:Laser-driven electron acceleration in underdense plasma is a promising route towards the realization of reliable sources of relativistic electrons in the 0.1-1 GeV energy range. Generation of such electron bunches at high repetition rates is hindered by the limited energy per pulse, which inevitably results in very short pulse duration and tight focusing. Compressing the laser energy in time and space allows scientists to use higher plasma density to drive wakefieds, which in turn results in enhanced diffracti… Show more
