Abstract
Multi-GeV electron acceleration of electrons using intense laser pulses that excite multi-gigavolt fields in plasmas will be discussed. Experimental results with the new BELLA PW-class lasers and supporting simulations will be presented as well as a path forward to apply this acceleration method towards practical machines.
