In plasma acceleration case, high capture efficiency within a narrow energy spectrum can be achieved when a sub-picosecond to femtosecond witness bunch injected behind the driver pulse at the high electric field region. A start-to-end simulation study was performed for parametric optimisation of an rf photoinjector to provide a short witness bunch for plasma applications in accelerators. An rf photoinjector is a laser-driven, high brightness and robust electron source that can provide stability and flexibility provided by today's advanced laser and rf technologies.
