The development of high gradient acceleration and tight phase-space control of high power beams is a key element for future lepton and hadron colliders since the increasing demands for higher energy and luminosity significantly raise costs of modern HEP facilities. Atomic channels in crystals are known to consist of 10 – 100 V/Å potential barriers capable of guiding and collimating a high...

Although the weakly nonlinear regime of LWFA is known to be the optimal for reaching the highest possible energy of electrons for a laser pulse of given energy, the capabilities of upcoming grand laser systems will provide the possibility of running highly nonlinear regimes of laser pulse propagation in underdense or near-critical plasmas. These regimes could open new routes towards various...

Prompted by the possibility1 to produce high energy single cycle laser pulse in the tens of PW intensity (1024W=cm2), we have
investigated laser-matter interaction in the few optical cycle and ultra relativistic intensity regime. A particularly interesting
instability-free regime for ion production was revealed leading to the efficient production of short(fs) monoenergetic ions with a
peak...

Vacuum Laser Acceleration (VLA) [1] is a promising method for accelerating electrons to very high energy in very short distances. The method is appealing because of its conceptual simplicity and most fundamental nature: electrons interact with an intense laser field in vacuum and exchange energy with the field. With intensities exceeding $10^{19} W/cm^{2}$, the laser electric field reaches >10...

By using our full electromagnetic relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code
equipped with ionisation module, we simulate the laser fields dynamics in the periodic structures of different materials. We study how the dynamic ionization influences the field structure.

We report on recent experimental progress in the field of dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons, with a focus on our recent results at sub-relativistic energies. This novel concept utilizes principles established in RF technology but scales down the size of the analogous accelerator components by several orders of magnitude, driven by the high achievable acceleration gradients of...
