The charge of injected electrons is much larger than the normal scaling laws of LWFA in bubble regime. We also got a quasi-mononeregetic electron beam with energy peaked at 249 MeV and charge of 68 pC with the similar laser conditions but lower plasma density. As confirmed by 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, the boosted bunch charge is due to the continuous injection caused by the self-steepening and self-compression of laser pulse. During the nonlinear evolution of laser pulse, the bubble structure broadens and stretches, leading to a longer dephasing length and larger beam charge.}, pages = {023108-1--023108-7}, title = {Generation of 20 kA electron beam from a laser wakefield accelerator}, volume = {24}, year = {2017} }
