This thesis reports on laser wakefield acceleration, a radically new approach for particle acceleration that builds on the huge electric fields that a plasma wave can provide. In this approach, an ultra-short laser pulse of high intensity is sent through a plasma. At sufficient intensity, the radiat
In this thesis we have presented theoretical and experimental investigations of some fundamental properties and applications of nonlinear interaction between ultrashort optical pulses and matter.
This thesis reports on research performed on high harmonic generation and ion acceleration, processes that are based on the interaction of gaseous and solid media with high-intensity laser pulses. High harmonic generation leads to the production of beams of ultrashort, laser-like radiation in the wa
