Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the
emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from …

This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure
EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique …

One of the major goals of research for laser-plasma accelerators is the realization of
compact sources of femtosecond X-rays,,. In particular, using the modest electron energies …

Laser-driven plasma accelerators provide acceleration gradients that are three orders of
magnitude greater than those generated by conventional accelerators, offering the potential …

Laser plasma accelerators have produced high-quality electron beams with GeV energies
from cm-scale devices and are being investigated as hyperspectral fs light sources …

This review article highlights the tremendous evolution of the research on laser plasma
accelerators which has, in record time, led to the production of high quality electron beams …

We report on recent progress on laser-plasma acceleration using a low energy and high-
repetition rate laser system. Using only few milliJoule laser energy, in conjunction with …

Ionization injection in a laser-plasma accelerator is studied analytically and by multi-
dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. To enable the production of low energy …

A method is proposed to generate femtosecond, ultralow emittance (∼ 10− 8 m rad),
electron beams in a laser-plasma accelerator using two lasers of different colors. A long …

Plasma waves generated in the wake of intense, relativistic laser, or particle beams, can
accelerate electron bunches to gigaelectronvolt energies in centimetre-scale distances. This …
