noun

Etymology: From wake + field.

  1. The electron density wave structure which immediately follows an intense laser beam or relativistic charged particle beam as it passes through a plasma; the electric field or potential associated with such a structure.

    “Calculation of the plasma wakefields (driven electron plasma waves) generated by nonevolving drive laser pulses is straightforward.”
