Abstract Producing on-target laser intensities much greater than 1023 W cm−2 with current laser technologies is a roadblock to accessing new regimes of physics such as strong-field quantum electrodynamics. Laser–plasma amplifiers show promise to realize these intensities by augmenting the final amplifier and compressor in traditional chirped-pulse-amplification architectures with a plasma-based amplification and compression stage that operates at a much higher damage threshold.
Abstract Laser–plasma accelerators are able to sustain electric fields that are orders of magnitude stronger than conventional radio-frequency cavities, offering a path towards ultracompact, high-energy particle accelerators. It is predicted that electron energies exceeding 100 GeV can be achieved using metre-scale accelerators, which would match the highest-energy electrons ever produced at CERN’s Large Electron–Positron Collider.
