Polarization and CEP dependence of the transverse phase space in laser driven accelerators

We present experimental results which show a laser polarization-dependent contribution to electron beam pointing jitter in laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs). We develop a theoretical model for the polarization dependence in terms of the transverse dynamics of trapped electrons, resonantly driven...
