Surfatron laser-plasma accelerator: Prospects and limitations
Abstract
The surfatron laser plasma accelerator which is an extension of the plasma heat wave accelerator scheme is discussed. It utilizes very intense electric fields, 10(9) to 10(1)0 V/cm, associated with focussed laser beams to accelerate particles.
