Optimization of laser-plasma injector via beam loading effects using ionization-induced injection

Simulations of ionization-induced injection in a laser driven plasma wakefield show that high-quality electron injectors in the 50–200 MeV range can be achieved in a gas cell with a tailored density profile. Using the PIC code Warp with parameters close to existing experimental conditions, we show t...
