Particle acceleration in subcycle optical cells
A single laser pulse with spot size smaller than half its wavelength (w_{0}<λ/2) can provide a net energy gain to ultrarelativistic particles. In this paper, we discuss the properties of an optical cell consisting of N subcycle pulses that propagate in the direction perpendicular to the electron...
