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 …

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 …

Laser-driven plasma accelerators provide acceleration gradients that are three orders of
magnitude greater than those generated by conventional accelerators, offering the potential …

We report guiding of laser pulses with peak input intensities greater than 10 17 W cm-2 in 30
mm and 50 mm long H 2-filled capillary discharge waveguides. Under conditions producing …

A hydrogen plasma waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses is described. The guiding
channel is formed by a small-scale discharge in a hydrogen-filled capillary. The measured …

A one-dimensional dissipative magnetohydrodynamics code is used to investigate the
discharge dynamics of a waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses: the gas-filled capillary …

Laser wakefield accelerators can produce electric fields of order 10–100 GV∕ m⁠, suitable
for acceleration of electrons to relativistic energies. The wakefields are excited by a …

We present experiments and numerical simulations which demonstrate that fully ionized, low-
density plasma channels could be formed by hydrodynamic expansion of plasma columns …

Since its inception in the early 1980s, the field of plasma-based particle accelerators has
made remarkable advances. Robust plasma accelerating structures can now be excited …

Plasma-wakefield-based acceleration technology has the potential to revolutionize the field
of particle accelerators. By providing acceleration gradients orders of magnitude larger than …
