Flying-Focus Pulses Extend Electron Acceleration in Plasma Wakefields
Laser wakefield accelerators have historically been limited by the short distance over which electrons could be accelerated. By using flying-focus laser pulses, electrons can now ride plasma waves for much longer distances, dramatically expanding the acceleration range. This advancement could lead to more compact and powerful particle accelerators.
