A tunable electron beam source using trapping of electrons in a density down-ramp in laser wakefield acceleration

One challenge in the development of laser wakefield accelerators is to demonstrate sufficient control and reproducibility of the parameters of the generated bunches of accelerated electrons. Here we report on a numerical study, where we demonstrate that trapping using density down-ramps allows for t...
