This thesis covers the few-cycle laser-driven acceleration of electrons in a laser-generated plasma. This process, known as laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA),

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applicatio

Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as sup
