High-Density Dynamics of Laser Wakefield Acceleration from Gas Plasmas to Nanotubes

High-Density Dynamics of Laser Wakefield Acceleration from Gas Plasmas to Nanotubes

The electron dynamics of laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is examined in the high-density regime using particle-in-cell simulations. These simulations model the electron source as a target of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes readily allow access to near-critical densities and may have other adv...
