Variable profile capillary discharge for improved phase matching in a laser wakefield accelerator
1999
We have demonstrated the possibility to generate long plasma channels with a variable plasma density profile in a longitudinal direction. Such plasma channels can be used to control the velocity of the guided high-intensity laser beams in order to extend the acceleration distance. The measured plasma density profiles at the capillary exit were found in excellent agreement with the numerical simulations.
