Self-modulated wakefield acceleration in a centimetre self-guiding channel

Self-modulated wakefield acceleration was investigated at densities down to ∼4 ×10 18 cm -3 by propagating the 50 TW 300 fs LULI laser in helium gas jets at lengths up to 1 cm. Long interaction lengths were achieved by closer matching of the initial focal spot size to the matched spot size for these...
