Development of the Self-Modulation Instability of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra, S. Wyler, T. Nechaeva +7

Self-modulation is a beam-plasma instability that is useful to drive large-amplitude wakefields with bunches much longer than the plasma skin depth. We present experimental results…

Simulation and Experimental Study of Proton Bunch Self-Modulation in Plasma with Linear Density Gradients

P. I. Morales Guzmán, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +88

We present numerical simulations and experimental results of the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in a plasma with linear density gradients along the beam path. Simulation re…

Anisotropic heating and magnetic field generation due to Raman scattering in laser-plasma interactions

Thales Silva, Kevin Schoeffler, Jorge Vieira +3

We identify a mechanism for magnetic field generation in the interaction of intense electromagnetic waves and underdense plasmas. We show that Raman scattered plasma waves trap and…

Transition between Instability and Seeded Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Particle Bunch in Plasma

F. Batsch, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +94

We use a relativistic ionization front to provide various initial transverse wakefield amplitudes for the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in plasma. We show experimentally t…

Experimental study of extended timescale dynamics of a plasma wakefield driven by a self-modulated proton bunch

J. Chappell, E. Adli, R. Agnello +96

Plasma wakefield dynamics over timescales up to 800 ps, approximately 100 plasma periods, are studied experimentally at the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). The development o…

Proton Bunch Self-Modulation in Plasma with Density Gradient

F. Braunmüller, T. Nechaeva, AWAKE Collboration

We study experimentally the effect of linear plasma density gradients on the self-modulation of a 400\,GeV proton bunch. Results show that a positive/negative gradient in/decreases…
