Abstract
The electron densities of plasma channels are studied for the electron injection in laser wakefield acceleration and the effect of the finite transition scale length is studied using one-dimensional particle in cell code. The simulation indicates that the density transition scale length must be less than 2 μm for the electron injection. The density transition scale lengths were measured by an interferometer at different times. The feasible electron density structure was formed 1.2 ns after laser pulse.
