Leemans Higher-order laser modes are analyzed as a method to control focusing forces and improve the electron bunch quality in laser-plasma accelerators. In the linear wake regime, the focusing force is proportional to the transverse gradient of the laser intensity, which can be shaped by a superposition of... [Phys. Rev. ST Accel.
