In current plasma-based accelerator experiments, very short bunches (100-150{mu}m for E164 and 10-20 {mu}m for E164X experiment at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)) are used to drive plasma wakes and achieve high accelerating gradients, on the order of 10-100GV/m. The self-fields of such intense bunches can tunnel ionize neutral gases and create the plasma. This may completely change the physics of plasma wakes. A 3-D object-oriented fully parallel PIC code OSIRIS is used to simulate various gas types, beam parameters, etc. to support the design of the experiments. The simulation results for real experiment parameters are presented.
