Interaction of ultrarelativistic electron and proton bunches with dense plasmas
arXiv:1112.0616 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevSTAB.15.041302
Abstract
Here we discuss the possibility of employment of ultrarelativistic electron and proton bunches for generation of high plasma wakefields in dense plasmas due to the Cherenkov resonance plasma-bunch interaction. We estimate the maximum amplitude of such a wake and minimum system length at which the maximum amplitude can be generated at the given bunch parameters.
