Abstract

In this article, we report on experimental electron spectra generated by SMLWF in the ultra-relativistic regime a₀ > 1, where a₀ is the normalized vector potential of the laser. For the first time, we have observed that in our range of parameters the maximum electron energy increases when the electron density decreases. A maximum of 70 MeV was observed for n_e/n_c equals 1.5 percent.
