Observation of monoenergetic electrons from two-pulse ionization injection in quasilinear laser-wakefields

The generation of low emittance electron beams from laser-driven wakefields is crucial for the development of compact X-ray sources. Here, we show new results for the injection and acceleration of quasi-monoenergetic electron beams in low amplitude wakefields experimentally and using simulations. Th...
