Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of plasma-based accelerator concepts
TL;DR: An overview of the physics issues relevant to the plasma wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat-wave accelerator, including the self-modulated regime, and wakefield accelerators driven by multiple electron or laser pulses is given in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions.
TL;DR: A nonlinear theory of intense laser-plasma interactions is developed and used to describe relativistic optical guiding, coherent harmonic radiation production, and nonlinear plasma wakefield generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-focusing and guiding of short laser pulses in ionizing gases and plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, the wave equations for laser pulse propagation in a gas undergoing ionization and in a plasma are derived, and the source-dependent expansion method is discussed, which is a general method for solving the paraxial wave equation with nonlinear source terms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Injection into Plasma Wakefields by Colliding Laser Pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, an injector and an accelerator are analyzed that uses three collinear laser pulses in a plasma: an intense pump pulse, which generates a large wake field, and two counterpropagating injection pulses, which injects electrons into the fast wake field for acceleration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Thomson scattering of intense laser pulses from beams and plasmas
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive theory is developed to describe the nonlinear Thomson scattering of intense laser fields from beams and plasmas, valid for linearly or circularly polarized incident laser fields of arbitrary intensities and for electrons of arbitrary energies.
