Projects Objectives Team<br />

Few-fs to sub-fs relativistic<br />

electron bunches<br />

Laser-plasma acceleration<br />

of electrons to superrelativistic<br />

(>>100 MeV)<br />

energies<br />

Reproducible generation of mono-energetic relativistic<br />

(1-100MeV) few-fs electron bunches in underdense<br />

plasmas driven by few-cycle laser pulses from LWS-10,<br />

sub-femtosecond bunch slicing by the inverse freeelectron<br />

laser mechanism, temporal characterization<br />

<strong>and</strong> applications for time-resolved experiments<br />

Reproducible generation of collimated, high-current,<br />

mono-energetic electron bunches of energies<br />

ranging from 100 MeV to several GeV by means of<br />

laser wake field acceleration (LWFA) for producing<br />

undulator radiation <strong>and</strong> free-electron lasing, <strong>and</strong><br />

other applications<br />
