Emittance and divergence of laser wakefield accelerated electrons
We apply the pepper-pot method to measure in a single shot the transverse emittance of quasimonoenergetic electrons with 20 MeV energy produced by laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). The large divergence of LWFA beams (>1 mrad typical) compared to conventional rf accelerator beams places additi...
