  • Abstract
    The UCLA and LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) nonlinear laser wake field scheme is discussed. The authors find advantages to operating in the limit where the laser pulse is narrow enough to expel all the plasma electrons from the focal region. A description of the experimental program for the short pulse 10-TW laser facility at LLNL is presented.<>
