Compact laser wakefield acceleration toward high energy with micro-plasma parabola

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) promises compact accelerators toward the high-energy frontier. However, the approach to the 100 GeV milestone faces the obstacle of the long focal length required for optimal acceleration with high-power lasers, which reaches hundreds of meters for 10–100 PW laser...
