Description

Among the advanced approaches in Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA), the use of tapered plasma density and extended acceleration lengths—demonstrated through gas jet experiments—has proven effective for generating high-energy beams. However, gas jet sources often fail to ensure stable beam quality and high repetition rates, limiting their applicability. Addressing these limitations within capillary sources could provide a more robust solution.

We propose a segmented capillary source to overcome the limitations of traditional designs. Modularized by function, this design achieves tapered plasma density through CFD-based structural optimization and enables high repetition-rate operation via a differential pumping module. Experimental results validate its effectiveness, highlighting its potential for advanced plasma acceleration applications.
