We present an analysis of the spatial beam profile of high-order harmonic radiation generated in xenon in a semi-infinite gas cell (SIGC). The observed spatial profiles consist of a central, less divergent part surrounded by a conical structure. We were able to assign contributions of two electron trajectories to different regions of the beam by experimental observations as well as simulations. Furthermore we examine the influence of phase-matching parameters, such as the focusing position inside the SIGC and the pressure of the generating medium on the different electron trajectory contributions and their spatial separation. Simulations, based on the discrete dipole approximation, confirm the experimental observations and give further insight on the generation process.
