Abstract

Electron acceleration in solid-state plasmas is of interest within the Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) research. Layered nanostructures such as graphene nanoribbons can be used as targets for intense UV lasers to generate and accelerate electron bunches. We present numerical Particle in Cell (PIC) simulations of a novel sub-femtosecond selfinjection scheme which relies on edge-plasma oscillations
in a layered graphene target. The scheme delivers 0.4 fslong electron bunches of 2.5 pC total charge with an energy gain rate of 4.8 TeV/m. These parameters are unprecedented and, if confirmed experimentally, may have an impact on
fundamental femtosecond research.
