In recent years, the laser-driven plasma wakefield acceleration has attracted much attention as it has a much higher acceleration gradient (>100 GeV/m) compared with the RF-based conventional accelerators. In the past, the supersonic gas jet method for plasma wakefield acceleration was widely used, but this method has a limitation in acceleration distance and energy because the focused laser beam is diffracted severely over a very short distance (~ a few mm range). To avoid the diffraction problem, a capillary plasma source can be used, where a high power laser beam can be guided over a long distance (~ a few cm range) by a parabolic plasma density profile in the capillary plasma channel. We have developed a gas-filled capillary plasma source for generation of GeV-level electron beams in collaboration with the University of Oxford team. In this presentation, the detailed test results and the near-future experimental plan for GeV-level e-beam generation are shown.
