Drive beam sources and longitudinal shaping techniques

Abstract

Linear colliders are an attractive platform to explore high-precision physics of newly discovered particles. The recent significant progress in advanced accelerator technologies has motivated their applications to colliders which has been discussed in the {\sc alegro} workshop. In this paper we discuss one promising scheme, collinear wakefield acceleration. We especially discuss available drive and witness beam sources based on L and S-band radiofrequency technology, and also summarize available and forthcoming longitudinal shaping techniques to improve the overall acceleration efficiency via the transformer ratio.
