Generating a tunable narrow electron beam comb via laser-driven plasma grating

Hetian Yang, Jingwei Wang et al.

We propose a novel approach for generating a high-density, spatially periodic narrow electron beam comb (EBC) from a plasma grating induced by the interference of two intense laser pulses in ...
