Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the
emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from …

Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of
100 GV∕ m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat …

The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of
arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics …

Laser-plasma accelerators of only a centimetre's length have produced nearly
monoenergetic electron bunches with energy as high as 1 GeV. Scaling these compact …

This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure
EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique …

A simple, efficient scheme was developed to obtain near-gigaelectronvolt electron beams
with energy spreads of few per-mille level in a single-stage laser wakefield accelerator …

We present the first demonstration of multi-GeV laser wakefield acceleration in a fully
optically formed plasma waveguide, with an acceleration gradient as high as 25 GeV/m. The …

A proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating dielectric laser acceleration of nonrelativistic
electrons in the vicinity of a fused-silica grating is reported. The grating structure is utilized to …

Plasma-based accelerators that impart energy gain as high as several GeV to electrons or
positrons within a few centimeters have engendered a new class of diagnostic techniques …

We report the generation of stable and tunable electron bunches with very low absolute
energy spread (Δ E<? format?>≈<? format?> 5 MeV) accelerated in laser wakefields via …
