The development, characterization and implementation of a water (H 2 O) droplet source for laser–plasma interactions at high-repetition rates are reported. The system is capable of generating a continuous stream of water droplets for several hours and was tested to operate continuously as a target source. Based on glass capillaries, a detailed parameter scan on the automated pulling process is presented, allowing a fine-tuning of the shape of the capillaries and therefore the diameter of the droplets.
