Production of high-quality electron beams in numerical experiments of laser wakefield acceleration with longitudinal wave breaking
In 1998 Bulanov et al. [Phys. Rev. E 58, R5257 (1998)] proposed a novel scheme for the production of high-quality electron beams in laser wakefield acceleration in which a controlled longitudinal nonlinear wave breaking is induced by a tailored electron density profile. This proposal was supported b...
