Monoenergetic beams of relativistic electrons from intense laser-plasma interactions
High-power lasers that fit into a university-scale laboratory can now reach focused intensities of more than 10 19 W cm -2 at high repetition rates. Such lasers are capable of producing beams of energetic electrons, protons and γ-rays. Relativistic electrons are generated through the breaking of lar...
