Effect of the Laser Wave Front in a Laser-Plasma Accelerator
A high-repetition rate electron source is generated by tightly focusing kHz, few-mJ laser pulses into an underdense plasma. This high-intensity laser-plasma interaction leads to stable electron beams over several hours but with strikingly complex transverse distributions even for good quality laser...
