Principle and applications of electron beams produced withlaser plasma accelerators

摘要

High quality electron beams produced by laser plasma accelerators, in the bubblernregime or in the colliding laser pulse regime, have properties of interest for many applicationsrnin fields such as material science, medicine, and chemistry. We present shortly the principle ofrnlaser plasma accelerators and we show why these beams are of interest for radiography andrnradiotherapy.
