Characterisation of self-guided laser wakefield accelerators to multi-GeV energies

This thesis details experimental and theoretical work in the field of self-guided laser wakefield accelerators, characterising various aspects of the machine related to the driver laser and electron beam generation. The spectral changes to the laser pulse driving a laser wakefield accelerator were c...
