Description
An effective theory of laser–plasma based particle acceleration is presented. Here we treated the plasma as a continuous medium with an
index of refraction n_m in which a single electron propagates. We studied the properties of the electron motion due to the Lorentz force and the relativistic equations of motion were numerically solved and analysed. We compared our results to PIC simulations and experimental data. The bichormatic contribution gives an approximate ten percent enhancement in the final electron energy.
