Summary

Abstract

Dissertation to achieve the academic degree Doctor rerum naturalium. Handed in at Technische Universität Dresden. <strong>Abstract:</strong> Laser plasma wakefield accelerators have seen tremendous progress in the last years, now capable of producing electron beams in the GeV energy range. The inherent few-femtoseconds short bunch duration of these accelerators leads to ultra-high peak-currents.<br> Reducing the energy spread found in these accelerators, while scaling their output to hundreds of kiloampere peak current would stimulate the next generation of radiation sources covering high-field THz, high-brightness X-ray and -ray sources, compact free-electron l...
