Description

Laser based acceleration technology allows to produce high electric fields with a centimeter-scale device. The basic physics of Laser Wakefield Acceleration is introduced. To get stable mono-energetic electron beam, particles should be firstly injected into the plasma wave. Different types of electron injection are reviewed. The experimental techniques for density measurement above the supersonic gas jet are presented.
