Present methods of accelerating charged particles such as electrons             depend upon so called accelerators.  Previous research has shown                interaction of intense laser radiation with a plasma that can                   accelerate electrons to very high energies.  The researchers are                carrying out more detailed studies on the coupling of laser energy to           electron plasma waves and are investigating the effect of plasma                parameters such as electron density, density gradient, turbulence, and          scale length on the acceleration of electrons.  The experimental data           being acquired should provide insight into onset, growth, and                   saturation of electron plasma waves driven by intense radiation                 (laser).  The experiments also provide graduate student experience in           optics, lasers, particle acceleration, parmetric processes, electrical          discharges in gases as well as theoretical and computational                    explanation of the observation.
