Laser plasma acceleration of electrons: Towards the production of monoenergetic beams

The interaction of high intensity laser pulses with underdense plasma is investigated experimentally using a range of laser parameters and energetic electron production mechanisms are compared. It is clear that the physics of these interactions changes significantly depending not only on the interac...
