Description

A plasma source is a vital part in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and a gas cell is one of the main sources for that purpose. In our laboratory, we have developed diverse capillary plasma sources for LWFA in recent years. In this talk, development and characterization of a special gas cell with a longitudinal density tapering are presented, in which a higher electron acceleration energy is expected.
