  Simulations of ionization induced injection in a laser driven plasma
wakefield show that high-quality electron injectors in the 50-200 MeV range can
be achieved in a gas cell with a tailored density profile. Using the PIC code
Warp with parameters close to existing experimental conditions, we show that
the concentration of $\mathrm{N_2}$ in a hydrogen plasma with a tailored
density profile is an efficient parameter to tune electron beam properties
through the control of the interplay between beam loading effects and varying
accelerating field in the density profile. For a given laser plasma
configuration, with moderate normalized laser amplitude, $a_0=1.6$ and maximum
electron plasma density, $n_{e0}=4\times 10^{18}\,\mathrm{cm^{-3}}$, the
optimum concentration results in a robust configuration to generate electrons
at 150~MeV with a rms energy spread of 4\% and a spectral charge density of
1.8~pC/MeV.
