Abstract

Charged particles can be accelerated to relativistic high energies by high power (> terawatt) laser beams. We have a research project on laser and plasma-based advanced accelerators in Center for Advanced Accelerators at Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI), in which the 2 TW (1.4 J/700 fs) Ti:sapphire/Nd:glass hybrid laser system and a He plasma will be used for particle acceleration experiments. In this presentation, we introduce the ongoing research activities and the planned experiments at KERI.
