AB - A plasma medium can be formed when a gas is discharged via an applied high voltage within a capillary tube. A high voltage discharge based plasma source for plasma wake- field acceleration experiment is being developed. Design considered a glass capillary tube with various inner radii. Glass was preferred to sapphire or quartz options to ease the machining. Electrodes will be attached to the tube using a sealant resistant to high vacuum conditions and baking at high temperatures. Each electrode will be isolated from the neighbouring one using nuts or washers from a thermoplastic polymer insulator material to prevent unwanted sparking outside of the tube. In this paper, general design considerations and possible working points of this plasma source are presented for a range of plasma densities from 1×10²⁰ to 1×10²² m^{&}#8722;3. Consideration was also given to plasma density diagnostic techniques due to critical dependence of accelerating gradient on plasma density.
