- Abstract:
- Novel particle accelerators are profiting from compact and high power lasers for beam generation or high gradient acceleration. Moreover, high brightness electron beams colliding with photons have paved the way to generate coherent X-ray radiation. Here we review the basic mechanism behind the generation of ultra-short high power laser system and in particular we report on laser beam characterisation at FLAME and STRATCLYDE, useful for particle acceleration driven by plasma. Eventually we discuss on the applications currently developed or under design at INFN-LNF in the frame of SPARC_LAB.
