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 …

Abstract In high-intensity (> 10 21 W cm− 2) laser–matter interactions gamma-ray photon
emission by the electrons can strongly affect the electronʼs dynamics and copious numbers …

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 …

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

Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

Synchrotrons and free-electron lasers are the most powerful sources of X-ray radiation. They
constitute invaluable tools for a broad range of research; however, their dependence on …

We report on near-GeV electron beam generation from an all-optical cascaded laser
wakefield accelerator (LWFA). Electron injection and acceleration are successfully …

Table-top laser-driven plasma accelerators are gaining attention for their potential use in
miniaturizing future high-energy accelerators. By irradiating gas jet targets with ultrashort …

Now fully updated, the second edition of Modern Diagnostic X-Ray Sources: Technology,
