abstract = {Plasma waves generated in the wake of intense, relativistic
laser1,2 or particle beams3,4 can accelerate electron
bunches to gigaelectronvolt energies in centimetre-scale
distances. This allows the realization of compact
accelerators with emerging applications ranging from modern
light sources such as the free-electron laser to energy
frontier lepton colliders. In a plasma wakefield
accelerator, such multi-gigavolt-per-metre wakefields can
accelerate witness electron bunches that are either
externally injected5,6 or captured from the background
plasma7,8. Here we demonstrate optically triggered
injection9,10,11 and acceleration of electron bunches,
generated in a multi-component hydrogen and helium plasma
employing a spatially aligned and synchronized laser pulse.
This ‘plasma photocathode’ decouples injection from wake
excitation by liberating tunnel-ionized helium electrons
directly inside the plasma cavity, where these cold
electrons are then rapidly boosted to relativistic
velocities. The injection regime can be accessed via
optical11 density down-ramp injection12,13,14,15,16 and is
an important step towards the generation of electron beams
with unprecedented low transverse emittance, high current
and 6D-brightness17. This experimental path opens numerous
prospects for transformative plasma wakefield accelerator
applications based on ultrahigh-brightness beams.},
