Periodic self-injection of electrons in a few-cycle laser driven oscillating plasma wake
Millijoule-energy few-cycle laser pulses excite the plasma wakefield and accelerate electrons at kilohertz repetition rate, generating mega-electron volt (MeV) electron bunches with femtosecond temporal duration for ultrafast electron diffraction applications. By simulating few-cycle laser pulses in...
