Beam-based characterization of plasma density in a capillary-discharge waveguide

Next-generation plasma-based accelerators can push electron bunches to gigaelectronvolt energies within centimeter distances. In these devices, the accelerating force is provided by a driver pulse, either a laser pulse or a particle bunch, that loses its energy into the plasma generating huge electr...
