    Optimization Of Laser Wakefield Acceleration
    (2001) Rundquist, A. R.; LeBlanc, S. P.; Gaul, E. W.; Cheshkov, S.; Grigsby, F. B.; Tajima, T. T.; Downer, M. C.; Rundquist, A. R.; LeBlanc, S. P.; Gaul, E. W.; Cheshkov, S.; Grigsby, F. B.; Tajima, T. T.; Downer, M. C.
    Using an evolutionary strategy algorithm, we optimize the generalized transformer ration of a laser wakefield accelerator. The algorithm tests several realistic pulse shapes by integrating the fluid wakefield differential equation and it converges to the shape that most efficiently produces a strong accelerating gradient while experiencing minimal distortion.
