Progress towards a demonstration of multi-pulse laser wakefield acceleration and implementation of a single-shot wakefield diagnostic

<p>An ongoing experiment is described to demonstrate the principle of multi-pulse laser wakefield acceleration, in which a plasma wakefield is resonantly excited by a train of laser pulses, spaced by the plasma wavelength. Particle-in-cell simulations of the initial single-pulse experimental s...
