12. Although 2D-PIC simulations may underestimate energy gain or overestimate the charge of the trapped electron beam as noted in Ref. [3], they could describe the important interaction physics accurately.

17. The reason for choosing 500 TW as the laser power in the simulation is because a Ti: sapphire 500 TW laser system is currently under construction at APRI-GIST in Korea and will be used for high field science and laser-matter interactions.
