High-charge electron beams from a laser-wakefield accelerator driven by a CO2 laser
Abstract Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) driven by widely available 100s TW-class near-infrared laser systems have been shown to produce GeV-level electron beams with 10s–100s pC charge in centimetre-scale plasma. As the strength of the ponderomotive force is proportional to the square of the l...
