Abstract :
The generation of an ultrashort relativistic electron bunch from a strong laser-plasma interaction has been studied by particle-in-cell simulations and observed experimentally. The electron beam was generated from the plasma created by focusing a Ti:sapphire 50fs 12 TW laser pulse at the edge of a He gas jet expanded into the vacuum from a pulsed supersonic nozzle
