LWFA with external injection from an RF accelerator is one of the most promising configurations. In order to achieve the goal parameters for the 5 GeV, 30 pC electron beam at the entrance of the undulator, a high-quality electron beam with bunch length of less than 10 fs (FWHM) and matched beta functions (~1 mm) at the plasma entrance is required. In addition, from the compactness point of view, the injection energy is desired to be as low as possible. A hybrid compression scheme is considered in this paper and a detailed start-to-end simulation is presented.
