Experimental studies of laser plasma wakefield acceleration
This thesis describes experiments thatexplore the possibility of improving the quality of an electron beam obtained from a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) by shaping the longitudinal plasma density profile. Different density profiles have been obtained by employing a range of Laval nozzles with d...
