From page 94...
... A state-of-the-art electron and ion accelerator is pictured in Figure 5.1. Accelerators Several new techniques have been demonstrated that can produce largeamplitude, coherent, high-phase-velocity electron plasma waves.

From page 95...
... Relatedly, scaling principles for focusing electron and positron beams using thin plasma slabs as plasma lenses have recently been demonstrated, with 600-,um focal spot sizes achieved. In this case, basic plasma science is being exploited to develop an important "component" of an accelerator system rather than the entire system itself.
