Progress of the FLASHForward X-2 high-beam-quality, high-efficiency plasma-accelerator experiment
arXiv:2111.08384 · doi:10.22323/1.398.0880
Abstract
FLASHForward is an experimental facility at DESY dedicated to beam-driven plasma-accelerator research. The X-2 experiment aims to demonstrate acceleration with simultaneous beam-quality preservation and high energy efficiency in a compact plasma stage. We report on the completed commissioning, first experimental results, ongoing research topics, as well as plans for future upgrades.
