Robustness of a plasma acceleration based free electron laser
Robustness of a plasma acceleration based free electron laser
Laser Plasma Accelerators (LPA) can sustain GeV/m accelerating fields offering outstanding new possibilities for compact applications. Despite the impressive recent developments, the LPA beam quality is still significantly lower than in the conventional radio-frequency accelerators, which is an issue in the cases of demanding applications such as Free Electron Lasers …
