Simulating laser pulse propagation and low-frequency wave emission in capillary plasma channel systems with a ponderomotive guiding center model
Capillary channels of ≈3 cm in length and with plasma densities ≈10^{18} cm^{-3} are a promising alternative to the much shorter, higher-density gas jets for GeV-scale laser wakefield acceleration of electrons. However, the large discrepancy between length scales of the plasma and the laser presen...
