TL;DR: In this paper, very collimated bunches of high energy electrons have been produced by focusing super-intense femtosecond laser pulses in submillimeter under-dense plasmas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the plasma was carefully characterized both in electron density and temperature, and the experimental data were compared to the predictions of a one-dimensional hydrodynamics computer code.

TL;DR: Time-resolved probe interferometry was used to obtain complete density mapping of laser produced plasmas, and the two-dimensional density maps obtained appear to be in substantial agreement with two- dimensional hydrodynamic code predictions.

TL;DR: In this article, the transverse trace space of low-emittance electron beams accelerated in the bubble regime of laser-plasma interaction is reconstructed using a single-shot measurement of both the electron energy spectrum and the betatron radiation spectrum.

TL;DR: A new algorithm developed for the dosimetric analysis of broad-spectrum, multi-MeV laser-accelerated proton beams allows the reconstruction of the proton beam spectrum from radiochromic film data, which makes dosimetry measurements a viable alternative to the use of track detectors.
