Channeling of relativistic laser pulses in underdense plasmas and subsequent electron acceleration

This contribution is concerned with the nonlinear behavior of a relativistic laser pulse focused in an underdense plasma and with the subsequent generation of fast electrons. Specifically, we study the interaction of laser pulses having their intensity Iλ2 in the range [1019, 1020]  W/cm2  μm2, focu...
