Near-threshold electron injection in the laser–plasma wakefield accelerator leading to femtosecond bunches

The laser–plasma wakefield accelerator is a compact source of high brightness, ultra-short duration electron bunches. Self-injection occurs when electrons from the background plasma gain sufficient momentum at the back of the bubble-shaped accelerating structure to experience sustained acceleration....
