Laser Wakefield Acceleration and Relativistic Optical Guiding.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA200381 | Open PDF

Abstract:

An electron acceleration method is investigated which employs a short tau sub L about 2 wp-1 about 1 picosec, high power P or 10 to the 15th power W, single frequency laser pulse to generate large amplitude E or 17 square of omegaomega sub p GW, relativistic optical during may be used to prevent the pulse from diffracting within the plasma.
