Laser-plasma acceleration of quasi-monoenergetic protons from microstructured targets
Article Abstract:
The experimental results of a laser accelerated proton beam with a peaked energy distribution, specifically the production of quasi-monoenergetic proton beams using laser-plasma accelerators, are presented. The studies show that the table-top laser systems with high repetition rates contribute to the development of new generations of particle injections that might be suitable for medical proton therapy.

High-quality electron beams form a laser wakefield accelerator using plasma-channel guiding
Article Abstract:
A laser accelerator that produces electron beams with an energy spread of a few percent, low emittance and increased energy is demonstrated. A technique that uses preformed plasma density channel to guide a relativistically intense laser and results in a longer propagation distance is presented.

Laser producing tailored beams
Article Abstract:
Photonic crystal lasers based on the band-edge effect are fabricated by engineering lattice points in the crystal structure in order to control the internal field distribution. The lasers so fabricated, are found to display single mode oscillation at room temperature.
