DOI: 10.1017/hpl.2021.39
Abstract: Abstract Owing to their ultra-high accelerating gradients, combined with injection inside micrometer-scale accelerating wakefield buckets, plasma-based accelerators hold great potential to drive a new generation of free-electron lasers (FELs). Indeed, the first demonstration of plasma-driven… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-0221/18/06/t06001
Abstract: Laser-plasma accelerators are capable of sustaining accelerating fields of 10–100 GeV/m, 100–1000 times that of conventional technology and the highest fields produced by any of the widely researched advanced accelerator concepts. Laser-plasma accelerators also intrinsically… read more here.
