  • Abstract
    A 10-ps beam of 12 MeV electrons was loaded in a 1-cm long plasma beat wave accelerator driven by a TW CO2 laser pulse. CO2 laser pulses and electron bunches were deterministically synchronized with an uncertainty of 20 ps. At the resonant electron plasma density of ∼1016 cm-3 the electrons have been accelerated to 22 MeV with a gradient of ∼ 1 GeV/m.
