Self-Adaptive Stabilization and Quality Boost for Electron Beams from All-Optical Plasma Wakefield Accelerators

D. Campbell, T. Heinemann, A. Dickson +14

Shot-to-shot fluctuations in electron beams from laser wakefield accelerators present a significant challenge for applications. Here, we show that instead of using such fluctuating…
