Laser Wakefield Electron Acceleration A Novel Approach Employing Supersonic Microjets and Few-Cycle Laser Pulses /

This thesis covers the few-cycle laser-driven acceleration of electrons in a laser-generated plasma. This process, known as laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), relies on strongly driven plasma waves for the generation of accelerating gradients in the vicinity of several 100 GV/m, a value four order...
