Vacuum acceleration in a regime beyond brunel absorption

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We describe a new regime of vacuum acceleration in laser-plasmas driven by ultrafast pulses of relativistic intensity, in which space-charge separation leads to strongly enhanced laser absorption and 20 MeV electrons accelerated outward.
