Description

Laser-wakefield acceleration of electrons in a gas cell is considered. The OpenFOAM package is used to study the influence of the parameters of the cell on the density profile. Particle-in-cell simulations of laser wakefield acceleration are performed for a 150 TW laser pulse, accelerated electrons with energies above 1 GeV are observed. A two-stage gas cell is investigated.
