✦ Synopsis

Recent results from high intensity (up to 5 × 10 20 W/cm 2 ) laser plasma interaction experiments at Imperial College London have shown that the plasmas produced during such interactions can be efficient sources of relativistic electron beams and also of high quality beams of non-relativistic ions. These beams may be important for the development of compact sources of energetic particles for applications in science, medicine and technology.
