Beschreibungen/Notizen

• High quality intense relativistic electron beams are generated by the interaction of two colliding laser pulses to inject plasma electrons into a wakefield excited by one of the laser pulses. The mechanism of the injection is analyzed theoretically and the generation of a high quality electron beam is verified by the numerical simulation. An electron beam has a small energy spread of 1%, ultrashort pulse duration less than 10 fs and normalized transverse emittance less than 1 π mm mrad.
