Laser Wakefield is a method for the acceleration of electrons up to the GeV level, with applications of great importance. Experimentally is realized by focusing an ultra-intense (I>1018 W/cm2), ultra-short (t~50 fs) laser pulse on an under-dense target. The parameters that interplay and lead to the tunability of the acceleration process are the laser pulse characteristics (e.g energy, pulse duration) as well as the gas density profile.We are working on the development of non-symmetric nozzles by conducting 3Dcomputational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations. Previously, we have studied conicalnozzles, which were 3D printed and used in our experiments. In this work, we examine advanced, non-symmetric nozzle designs which are also 3D printed and tested.
