In order to study the kinetic energy of accelerated positrons in the laser-driven wakefield, the positron kinetic energy in the wakefield driven by symmetric and asymmetric Gaussian laser pulse was simulated. Numerical result shows that the positron kinetic energy driven by asymmetric Gaussian laser pulses is higher than that driven by quasi-Gaussian laser pulses.
