Laser Electron Acceleration in the Bubble Regime — •Michael Geissler, Jörg Schreiber, and Jürgen Meyer-ter-Vehn — Hans-Kopfermann-Str. 1, D 85748 Garching

Laser-Plasma interaction with ultra-short ultra-high Power laser pulses leads to a new and very efficient electron regime of wakefield acceleration. In this so called bubble regime highly collimated electron beams with a narrow energy spread are generated. This multi-MeV beams will serve for a number of applications ranging from x-ray generation to multi stage accelerator chains. Based on 3D-PIC simulations a systematic study will be presented for the necessary pulse and plasma condition to reach the bubble regime. Recent experiments in this field will be analyzed and an outlook for experiments with the upcoming Laser systems in Garching will be given.
