Description

The application of the gas-filled capillary discharge waveguide to laser-plasma accelerators is reviewed. The results of experiments to guide high-intensity laser pulses in capillaries with circular or square cross-sections are described. The relation between capillary diameter, guided spot size, and plasma density are explored, and a possible new hybrid regime of guiding is identified
