Effect of laser pulse shape on the wake field in relativistic intense laser-plasma interaction

  • 1. Tsinghua Univ., Beijing (China). State Laboratory of Particle and Radiation Imaging

Description

The authors study the effect of laser pulse shape on the plasma wake field driven by an intense laser beam. It is found that the modified asymmetric laser pulse shape with a sharply rising front and broad falling back, dut to some nonlinear interactions of an intense laser pulse with plasmas, can significantly enhance the magnitude of the wake field
