Résumé

The electron beam produced by the self-modulated laser wake-field acceleration (LWFA) was characterized in terms of electron yield, temperature, and divergence by photonuclear activation techniques. Up to 4×10¹¹ electrons above 10 MeV having a characteristic temperature of about 8 Mev were measured. The angular spread of the emitted electron beam increased with plasma density but appeared to saturate.
