Monoenergetic electron bunches generated from thin solid foils irradiated by ultrashort, ultraintense circularly polarized lasers
Future ultrashort 10^{22}–10^{25} W cm^{-2} laser pulses offer the possibility of producing ultrashort monoenergetic electron beams in the GeV–TeV level by direct laser ponderomotive force acceleration (LPFA) in distances of millimeters to about 1 m. A scheme is proposed that a thin solid foil and...
