Space-charge effects in ultrahigh current electron bunches generated by laser-plasma accelerators
Recent advances in laser-plasma accelerators, including the generation of GeV-scale electron bunches, enable applications such as driving a compact free-electron laser (FEL). Significant reduction in size of the FEL is facilitated by the expected ultrahigh peak beam currents (10–100 kA) generated in...
