Description

In this work we analyze how amplitude modulations of the laser field affect the plasma-wave amplification in the beat-wave accelerator. It is shown that under certain resonance conditions, modulated lasers may cause the plasma wave to grow beyond the limits calculated from homogeneous models with the same initial-energy content
