Laser WakeField Acceleration (LWFA) has emerged as a promising concept in an effort to build compact, multi GeV electron accelerators. This plasma based accelerator technique uses laser induced charge carrier density waves to create extreme accelerating field gradients. To attain highest possible particle energies, a high energy laser must be focused over distances much greater than the Rayleigh length. As part of my master thesis, the guidance of terra watt laser beams has been experimentally shown for distances in capillary discharge plasma waveguides.
The talk will briefly explain the concept of laser wakefield acceleration and laser guiding in plasma channels, followed by the experimental results of laser guiding experiments conducted at the Helmholz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR).
