Abstract
Tabletop plasma accelerators can now produce GeV-range electron beams and femtosecond X-ray pulses, providing compact radiation sources for medicine, nuclear engineering, materials science and high-energy physics. In these accelerators, electrons surf on electric fields exceeding 100|[thinsp]|GeV|[thinsp]|m|[minus]|1, which is more than 1,000 times stronger than achievable in conventional accelerators.
