Abstract

The ponderomotive force at the front of an intense short pulse laser, propagating through a plasma, strongly influences the acceleration of electrons by a plasma wave or by the laser itself via betatron resonance in self-generated azimuthal magnetic field. It can enhance the electron energy gain several fold through the sustainment of the electron in the accelerating phase of the plasma wave and the laser beam.
