Front. Phys. 7:2. doi: 10.3389/fphy.2019.000022296-424Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/11073/16590A simple model is introduced for the fields of a chirped laser pulse. As an application, dynamics of laser-acceleration of a single electron by the fields of a pulse, with a sin4 envelope, is investigated. Multi-GeV energy gains from interaction with pulses of peak intensity I0 ∼ 1020 W/cm2, are reported.en-USChirped pulseLaser accelerationFew cycle pulseRelativistic electronsTightly focusedA Simple Model for the Fields of a Chirped Laser Pulse With Application to Electron Laser AccelerationPeer-Reviewed10.3389/fphy.2019.00002
