Towards a free-electron laser driven by a laser wakefield accelerator
… an FEL with a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) electron beam would radically reduce the size of such systems as well as delivering ultra-short duration radiation pulses. In this thesis, the production and optimal transport of high-quality electron beams in an LWFA and the feasibility of …

Laser Wakefield Accelerator Simulations Using EPOCH
Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA) provide a cheap, compact and accessible form of electron acceleration. These systems use high intensity laser pulses to drive a large amplitude plasma density wake. This wake is then used to trap and accelerate electrons to high energies. This particle …

Laser-Driven Particle Acceleration - Improving Performance Through Smart Target Design
Laser-driven particle acceleration makes use of sub-picosecond, pulsed, high-power laser systems, capable of producing intensities ~10^{19} W/cm^2 at the laser focus to form plasmas, and use ultra-relativistic and nonlinear dynamics to produce quasistatic acceleration fields. This allows electrons …
