From: Laser-accelerated electron beams at 1 GeV using optically-induced shock injection

Data from LWFA experiments. (a) A set of 45 consecutive shots shows electron beams injected at the HOFI-generated density down-ramp. The mean center of mass energy of the set and the standard deviation are indicated with black dashed lines. (b) A set of 18 shots is shown with the injector beam being switched on and off. The white bracket indicates the shots without injector beam. In (a) the results are plotted divergence-resolved ranging from \(\pm {5.4}\text {mrad}\), while in (b) the data for each shot is integrated over the width of the detector focal plane.
