The interaction of intense particle bunches with plasma can give rise to plasma wakes,
capable of sustaining gigavolt-per-metre electric fields,, which are orders of magnitude …

We present the first demonstration of multi-GeV laser wakefield acceleration in a fully
optically formed plasma waveguide, with an acceleration gradient as high as 25 GeV/m. The …

Laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) produce electric fields of the order of 100 GV m− 1, more
than 1000 times larger than those produced by radio-frequency accelerators. These …

We measure the high-intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided
laser-plasma accelerators by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot …

We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into
the wakefield driven by a high-intensity laser pulse guided in an all-optical plasma channel …

We describe a new approach for driving GeV-scale plasma accelerators with long laser
pulses. We show that the temporal phase of a long, high-energy driving laser pulse can be …

We demonstrate experimentally that hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma
channels can be generated at kHz-scale pulse repetition rates, in a static gas cell and for an …

We demonstrate that an ultrashort high intensity laser pulse can propagate for hundreds of
Rayleigh ranges in a prepared neutral hydrogen channel by generating its own plasma …

We show that multi-GeV laser wakefield electron accelerators in meter-scale, low density
hydrodynamic plasma waveguides operate in a new nonlinear propagation regime …

In recent years, hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) channels have emerged as a
promising technique to create laser waveguides suitable for guiding tightly focused laser …
