Laser-wakefield acceleration of electron beams in a low density plasma channel

Laser-wakefield acceleration of electron beams in a low density plasma channel

The generation of quasimonoenergetic electron beams, with energies greater than 500 MeV, in a laser-plasma accelerator driven by 2.5 J, 80 fs laser pulses guided in a low density plasma channel, is investigated. The laser energy required to achieve electron injection is found to depend strongly on t...
