Accelerating field enhancement due to ion motion in plasma wakefield accelerators
arXiv:1906.06838 · doi:10.1088/1361-6587/ab41a7
Abstract
Ion motion in plasma wakefield accelerators can cause temporal increase of the longitudinal electric field shortly before the wave breaks. The increase is caused by re-distribution of the wave energy in transverse direction and may be important for correct interpretation of experimental results and acceleration of high-quality beams.
