Ultrahigh brightness electron beams by plasma-based injectors for driving all-optical free-electron lasers

We studied the generation of low emittance high current monoenergetic beams from plasma waves driven by ultrashort laser pulses, in view of achieving beam brightness of interest for free-electron laser (FEL) applications. The aim is to show the feasibility of generating nC charged beams carrying pea...
