Description
Laser wakefield acceleration is a novel concept for particle acceleration which can provide for a significant reduction of the accelerator length compared to conventional accelerators. The main issue in this field is a lack of control over the injection of electrons into the wakefield, resulting in a large spread in energy of the accelerated electron bunches. For producing this particular density profile, supersonic gas jets are a promising approach which is under intense investigation. The report mainly introduces team`s the research progress and future plans of the supersonic gas jets providing sharp density gradients in plasma, which can be used for injection of electrons in laser wakefield acceleration.
