Abstract

The high-trapping efficiency and narrow-energy spread in laser-driven accelerator are demonstrated. The potential for building more affordable high-energy accelerators is offered when laser light is used to accelerate electrons to relativistic energies. The development of efficient laser linacs requires acceleration of a large ensemble of electrons together while keeping their energy spread small. Energy spreads down to 0.36% and trapping efficiencies of up to 80% are demonstrated.
