Effects of the dopant concentration in laser wakefield and direct laser acceleration of electrons

Effects of the dopant concentration in laser wakefield and direct laser acceleration of electrons

In this work, we experimentally study the effects of the nitrogen concentration in laser wakefield acceleration of electrons in a gas mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. A 15 TW peak power laser pulse is focused to ionize the gas, excite a plasma wave and accelerate electrons up to 230 MeV. We find th...
