Laser-Accelerated, Low-Divergence 15-MeV Quasimonoenergetic Electron Bunches at 1 kHz
We demonstrate laser wakefield acceleration of quasimonoenergetic electron bunches up to 15 MeV at 1-kHz repetition rate with 2.5-pC charge per bunch and a core with <7-mrad beam divergence. Acceleration is driven by 5-fs, <2.7-mJ laser incident on a thin, near-critical-density hydrogen gas je...
