Monoenergetic laser wakefield acceleration
Three dimensional test particle simulations are applied to optimization of the plasma-channeled laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) operating in a weakly nonlinear regime. Electron beam energy spread, emittance, and luminosity depend upon the proportion of the electron bunch size to the plasma wavele...
