We outline transient quasi-magnetostatic phenomena associated with Weibel-type instabilities, mainly, the formation and decay of the current sheets and filaments. We consider a col…
Compact Petawatt-Class Laser Wakefield Acceleration with Plasma Telescope
Xuesong Geng, Liangliang Ji, Baifei Shen
The compactness of laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is limited by its long focal length for high power lasers, e.g., more than 10 meters for 1-peatawatt (PW) laser pulse and up…
