Generating multi-GeV electron bunches using single stage laser wakefield acceleration in a 3D nonlinear regime
The extraordinary ability of space-charge waves in plasmas to accelerate charged particles at gradients that are orders of magnitude greater than in current accelerators has been well documented. We develop a phenomenological framework for laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) in the 3D nonlinear regi...
