STUDIES PLANNED AT CAT, INDORE ON LASER-PLASMA BASED ELECTRON ACCELERATION

The Laser Plasma Division at the Centre for Advanced Technology is engaged in a variety of research and development activities on laser-plasma interaction with special emphasis on laser-matter interaction at ultra-high intensities. An important aspect of our future work is studies in laser-plasma based acceleration using an elaborate infrastructural set-up of ultra-fast laser and plasma diagnostic systems and recently acquired 10TW, 50fs Ti:Sapphire laser system. This paper presents outline of the planned studies in this field.
