Ionization Induced Electron Injection in Laser Wakefield Acceleration

Abstract

The Strathprints institutional repository (https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk) is a digital archive of University of Strathclyde research outputs. It has been developed to disseminate open access research outputs, expose data about those outputs, and enable the management and persistent access to Strathclyde's intellectual output.

Summary of laser plasma physics sessions at the first AAPPS-DPP conference

“…Significant progress has been made in the last two decades in this area, which was built upon the new understanding of the related physics and the technical development of ultrashort high-power lasers and plasma targets. Currently, major efforts are being made for the improvement of the electron beam quality (low energy spread, small emittance, high stability) (Esarey et al 2009), enhancement of beam energy (Wang et al 2013;Kim et al 2013;Leemans et al 2014), and the development of various radiation sources from the accelerated electrons for applications (Giulietti 2016).…”
