Electron confinement by laser-driven azimuthal magnetic fields during direct laser acceleration

Electron confinement by laser-driven azimuthal magnetic fields during direct laser acceleration

A laser-driven azimuthal plasma magnetic field is known to facilitate electron energy gain from the irradiating laser pulse. The enhancement is due to changes in the orientation between the laser electric field and electron velocity caused by magnetic field deflections. Transverse electron confinement is critical for realizing this concept experimentally. …
