ACCESS HIGHLIGHT AT LOA: Relativistic-intensity 1.5-cycle light waveforms at kHz repetition rate leads to observation of laser waveform effects in laser-plasma accelerator
In a recent Transnational Access project performed at French Laserlab-Europe partner LOA, an international team made up of researchers from Berlin, Goettingen and Institut Polytechnique de Paris have developed a source of relativistic intensity near-single-cycle laser pulses and observed the first evidence of laser waveform effects inside a laser-plasma accelerator.
