Nanoplasmonic electron acceleration by attosecond-controlled forward rescattering in silver clusters

Accelerating electrons to high energy and controlling their properties on ultrafast timescales is challenging. Here the authors show controlled acceleration of electron bunches using forward scattering in the resonantly enhanced polarization field of silver clusters driven by a phase-tuned two-color...
