  • Abstract
    We report on some of the recent theoretical and computational results at UCLA and USC on plasma-based accelerator concepts. Topics discussed include beat-wave excitation from short-pulse lasers, self-trapped electron acceleration from self-modulational instabilities and wakefield excitation in preformed channels
