摘要An optimizing scheme for electron acceleration in the wake bubble with dense-plasma wall driven by an ultraintense laser pulse is presented and investigated by particle-in-cell simulation. The wall has an inner diameter matching the expected lateral bubble size. The bubble shape can be transversely controlled and longitudinally shrunk. The accelerated electrons as a bunch have a high quality because the electrons almost stay close to the bottom of the bubble and are accelerated to much high energy with narrow energy spread.
