Description

New techniques for the generation of intense electric fields will be necessary to build the future high-energy particle accelerators. One possibility is to use simultaneously high power lasers and plasmas. The accelerating electric field is then a space charge electric field due to the separation between electrons and ions. This non neutrality can be generated in the wake of a short laser pulse or by the beat-wave mechanism. We also present the last results of the beat-wave experiments developed at Ecole Polytechnique
