 ** A- Best results in LPA.** 

In experiments at LBNL the energy gain was extended to the GeV range using higher
laser powers (40TW) using longer plasma channels (3.3cm) and lower plasma
densities (10^18 cm-3) so to extend the dephasing  length:

MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUTE FUR QUANTENOPTIK have demonstrated quasimonoenegetic electron beams as high as 500MeV by
focusing a 750mJ, 42fs laser pulse into a gas filled capillary discharge
waveguide:

At RAL additional experiments with capillary discharge waveguides suggest taht in
certain operation regimes electron self-trapping may be assisted by laser
ionization of atoms or ions within the capillary
