10、 2 times. This makes a possible to increase the accelerated e-bunch transverse emittance.For same transverse size bubble, because the longitudinally shrink, the corresponding de-phasing length is also shrunk that is disadvantage to get higher e-energy.,24,Outline,Modification of bubble core field by

The bubble bottom shorten and e-bunch tailored processes slows down until end.The bubble shrunk longitudinally slows

19、 down: (i) under a dense-plasma wall radius, the bubble size should be determined finally by consistent balance conditions; (ii) The accelerated e-bunch is shorten that make the transverse repulsion reduced; (iii) The tailored e-bunch is depleted continuously that leads its ability to push bottom el

24、lerated electrons stay almost at the bottom of bubble not only increase the average acceleration field gradient but also overcome the limit of electrons acceleration de-phasing length to some extent.Three key factors: longitudinal shrink, dense positive-charge thin layer, and very dense electrons at

Proposing an optimizing scheme by placing a dense-plasma wall with radius comparable to bubble transverse size that can suppress the electrons continuous self-injection and therefore it can increase acceleration gradient through a realization of quasi-stable phase.,Thanks,
