The basic concept behind the Laser Controlled Beamfront
Experiment has been described in detail in previous
reports(1,2) In the experiment, control over the propagation
of a virtual cathode at the front of an intense relativistic
electron beam is achieved by a time-sequenced plasma
channel produced by laser-target interactions (see Fig. 1).
Ions are trapped and accelerated by the very strong electric
fields (50-400 MV/m) at the virtual cathode.
