Description

It is known that relativistic laser plasma interactions can induce accelerating fields beyond TV/m, which are capable of efficiently accelerating plasma background electrons up to 200 MeV. By optimising the plasma parameters it is now possible, with a compact IJ, 30 fs laser, to enhance the shape of the electron spectra and to produce a high charge electron beam with an energy peak centered at 170 MeV with an extremely good quality
