AWAKE, The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment at CERN

E. Gschwendtner, E. Adli, L. Amorim +88

The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) aims at studying plasma wakefield generation and electron acceleration driven by proton bunches. It is a…

Laser absorption via QED cascades in counter propagating laser pulses

Thomas Grismayer, Marija Vranic, Joana L. Martins +2

A model for laser light absorption in electron-positron plasmas self-consistently created via QED cascades is described. The laser energy is mainly absorbed due to hard photon emis…

Vacuum decay in an interacting multiverse

S. Robles-Pérez, A. Alonso-Serrano, C. Bastos +1

We examine a new multiverse scenario in which the component universes interact. We focus our attention to the process of "true" vacuum nucleation in the false vacuum within one sin…

Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept

A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118

This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…

Seeded QED cascades in counter propagating laser pulses

Thomas Grismayer, Marija Vranic, Joana L Martins +2

The growth rates of seeded QED cascades in counter propagating lasers are calculated with first principles 2D/3D QED-PIC simulations. The dependence of the growth rate on laser pol…

Self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators as x-ray sources

N. Lemos, J. L. Martins, F. S. Tsung +5

The development of a directional, small-divergence, and short-duration picosecond x-ray probe beam with an energy greater than 50 keV is desirable for high energy density science e…

Mitigation of numerical Cerenkov radiation and instability using a hybrid finite difference-FFT Maxwell solver and a local charge conserving current deposit

Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu, Adam Tableman +9

A hybrid Maxwell solver for fully relativistic and electromagnetic (EM) particle-in-cell (PIC) codes is described. In this solver, the EM fields are solved in space by performi…

Classical Radiation Reaction in Particle-In-Cell Simulations

Marija Vranic, Joana L. Martins, Ricardo A. Fonseca +1

Under the presence of ultra high intensity lasers or other intense electromagnetic fields the motion of particles in the ultrarelativistic regime can be severely affected by radiat…
