Stable, tunable, quasimonoenergetic electron beams produced in a laser wakefield near the threshold for self-injection

Stable, tunable, quasimonoenergetic electron beams produced in a laser wakefield near the threshold for self-injection

Stable operation of a laser-plasma accelerator near the threshold for electron self-injection in the blowout regime has been demonstrated with 25–60 TW, 30 fs laser pulses focused into a 3–4 millimeter length gas jet. Nearly Gaussian shape and high nanosecond contrast of the focused pulse appear to...
