Layout considerations for a future electron plasma research accelerator facility EuPRAXIA
Paul Andreas Walker, Ralph Wolfgang Assmann, Reinhard Brinkmann +8
The Horizon 2020 Project EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications) is preparing a conceptual design for a highly compact and cost-effective Eu…
Transverse envelope dynamics of beam slices in a uniform charged ellipsoidal model of the plasma bubble regime
Abdul Mannan, Alessio Del Dotto, Massimo Ferrario
We consider a pair of driver/witness electron bunches propagating in an ionized gas background a configuration similar to the one produced in a capillary discharge where a plasma o…
Guiding of charged particle beams in curved capillary-discharge waveguides
Riccardo Pompili, Giovanni Castorina, Massimo Ferrario +2
A new method able to transport charged particle beams along curved paths is presented. It is based on curved capillary-discharge waveguides in which the induced azimuthal magnetic…
Space Charge in Circular Machines
Massimo Ferrario, Mauro Migliorati, Luigi Palumbo
Space charge forces, which arise directly from the beam's charge distribution and include the influence of image charges and currents induced by interactions with a perfectly condu…

Jorge de Blas, Monica Dunford, Emanuele Bagnaschi +127
The European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) reflects the vision and presents concrete plans of the European particle physics community for advancing human knowledge in fundam…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
Simulation design for forthcoming high quality plasma wakefield acceleration experiment in linear regime at SPARC_LAB
