| Abstract | Laser-driven wakefield acceleration (LWFA) has received much attention as it can produce GeV-level high-energy electrons in cm-scale distance*. However, the accelerated electron energies are still limited by several factors, especially by the dephasing problem that is caused by different velocities between the plasma wake wave and the accelerated electron beam. In order to increase the acceleration length restricted by the dephasing problem**, we developed a gas-cell with density-tapering, which is realized by applying different gas pressures into two gas inlets in the gas cell. In this way, the gas density and gradient can be easily controlled in the gas cell. We used the density-tapered gas-cell for laser wakefield acceleration experiments in our laboratory with a 20 TW/40 fs Ti:sapphire laser system***. The results show that the electron energy can be significantly enhanced (about twice) with the tapered density gas-cell, compared with a uniform density conventional gas-cell. In this presentation, we show the experimental results and comparison with two-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results. | |||||
