Beam-generated plasma channels for laser wakefield acceleration

  • 1. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (United States)

Description

A hybrid of laser-wakefield and plasma wakefield accelerators is proposed, in which an intense laser pulse is optically guided by a plasma channel created by the leading portion of a high-current low-energy electron beam. This accelerator configuration appears to combine to advantage features of both laser wakefield and plasma wakefield accelerators. copyright 1997 American Institute of Physics
