  2. Outline 3D-PIC Simulations of: • few cycle pulses: • Scaling • Density Profile • Closer look on “bubble-electrons” • Experiments (Rutherford, Jena, MPQ…)

  3. Numerical Tool 3D-PIC Code for Ideal Laser Matter Interaction: ILLUMINATION x – Laser Polarization z – Propagation direction y Laser Pulse

  20. Conclusions Few-cycle pulses are most efficent for bubble acceleration (longer pulses become few-cycle during propagation) • Acceleration is limited due: • Rb=w0*a0.25 ~Eacc • Short lifetime of the bubble (~200-400µm) • Precise control of gas density and length is necessary • Multistages: Use a small amount (20-100mJ) in the first stage, but what afterwards? Wakefield? second bubble? How to inject the electron?
