Laser wakefield acceleration experiments

Description

The laser wakefield electron acceleration up to 300 MeV has been observed in an underdense plasma driven by a 2 TW, 90 fs laser pulse synchronized with a 17 MeV RF linac at 10 Hz. The electron acceleration was enhanced at a density higher than the resonant density due to gas ionization and self-channeling effects. The wakefield excitation has been confirmed by measuring the electron density oscillation of the plasma wave with the frequency domain interferometer. (author)
