GeV electron beams from a centimeter-scale laser-driven plasma accelerator
Results are presented on the generation of quasimonoenergetic electron beams with energy up to 1GeV using a 40TW laser and a 3.3 cm-long hydrogen-filled capillary discharge waveguide [1, 2]. Electron beams were not observed without a plasma channel, indicating that self-focusing alone could not be r...
