On plasma densities maximizing laser wake field acceleration

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We summarize the multi-step analytical procedure of Ref. [12] for tailoring the initial density of a cold diluted plasma to the laser pulse profile so as to maximize the early stage acceleration of small bunches of electrons self-injected by the first wave-breaking at the density down-ramp.
