Diagnosis of high energy electron beams produced by laser wakefield accelerators

This thesis discusses the production and diagnosis of electron bunches from laser produced wakefields. For the right laser and plasma parameters, monoenergetic features were observed in the electron spectrum. These mononenergetic beams are found to be sensitive to plasma density and laser parameters...
