Description
Theory and simulation of short-pulse laser plasma accelerators is presented. The plasma beat wave and laser wakefield accelerators are examined for the parameters of recently developed high-brightness lasers. For typical parameters, energy gains of .3 to 1 GeV over a few centimeters length appear feasible with a short pulse beat wave design. Issues important for extending these designs to multi-GeV acceleration of beams with high beam quality are examined, including optical guiding of the lasers, non-linear laser and wake velocity shifts, and long-term stability of the laser pulses
