Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source
Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9
We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
Stable and polarized Betatron x-ray radiation from a laser plasma accelerator in ionization injection regime
Andreas Doepp, Benoit Mahieu, Antoine Doche +15
Betatron x-ray source from laser plasma interaction combines high brightness, few femtosecond duration and broad band energy spectrum. However, despite these unique features the Be…
Acceleration of a Positron Bunch in a Hollow Channel Plasma
Spencer Gessner, Erik Adli, James M. Allen +16
Plasmas are a compelling medium for particle acceleration owing to their natural ability to sustain electric fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those available in conv…
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…
Correlations between X-rays, Visible Light and Drive-Beam Energy Loss Observed in Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiments at FACET-II
Chaojie Zhang, Doug Storey, Pablo San Miguel Claveria +26
This study documents several correlations observed during the first run of the plasma wakefield acceleration experiment E300 conducted at FACET-II, using a single drive electron bu…
Compton photons at the GeV scale from self-aligned collisions with a plasma mirror
Aimé Matheron, Jean-Raphaël Marquès, Vincent Lelasseux +34
With today's multi-petawatt lasers, testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the strong field regime, where the electric field exceeds the Schwinger critical field in the rest fram…
