Towards a free-electron laser driven by electrons from a laser-wakefield accelerator: simulations and bunch diagnostics

<p>This thesis presents results from two strands of work towards realizing a free-electron laser (FEL) driven by electron bunches generated by a laser-wakefield accelerator (LWFA). The first strand focuses on selecting operating parameters for such a light source, on the basis of currently ach...
