Demonstration of stable long-term operation of a kilohertz laser-plasma accelerator

We report on the stable and continuous operation of a kilohertz laser-plasma accelerator. Electron bunches with 2.6 pC charge and 2.5 MeV peak energy were generated via injection and trapping in a downward plasma density ramp. This density transition was produced in a specially designed asymmetrical...
