Abstract
It was mentioned in the introduction that many of the milestones in laser-driven electron acceleration were ultimately reached by the ongoing development of ever more powerful driving lasers. In 2004, when three independent groups showed for the first time the generation of mono-energetic electron beams by laser-driven plasma waves
