Accelerating electrons in vacuum by intense laser fields is a promising yet experimentally challenging field. Here, the authors demonstrate acceleration of 100’s of pC of 15 MeV electrons by shining few-cycle laser pulses on nanotips and further investigate the process by using different focusing geometries that leads to unexpected results.
