Surfing the plasma wake - particle acceleration with laser light
Surfing the plasma wake - particle acceleration with laser light
Schramm, U.
Modern short-pulse high-power lasers can, for a few optical cycles, generate electrical field strengths strong enough to accelerate electrons to relativistic energies. Rectifying these fields by means of a laser plasma can lead to acceleration gradients that exceed conventional rf-based technology by many orders of magnitude. Recent results in this field will be discussed as well as potential applications of laser accelerated particle pulses.
