Quasi-phase-matched laser wakefield acceleration of electrons in an axially density-modulated plasma channel

Abstract Quasi-phase matching in corrugated plasma channels has been proposed as a way to overcome the dephasing limitation in laser wakefield accelerators. In this study, the phase-lock dynamics of a relatively long electron bunch injected in an axially-modulated plasma waveguide is investigated by...
