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 />
