Laser Wakefield Acceleration

Laser Wakefield Acceleration is a plasma-based particle acceleration technique in which a high-intensity laser pulse propagates through an underdense plasma, generating a relativistic plasma wave that traps and accelerates charged particles to high energies via the induced longitudinal electric fields.
