Emittance preservation in a plasma-wakefield accelerator

C. A. Lindstrøm, J. Beinortaitė, J. Björklund Svensson +15

Radio-frequency particle accelerators are engines of discovery, powering high-energy physics and photon science, but are also large and expensive due to their limited accelerating…

Resonant excitation of plasma waves in a plasma channel

Aimee J. Ross, James Chappell, Johannes J. van de Wetering +14

We demonstrate resonant excitation of a plasma wave by a train of short laser pulses guided in a pre-formed plasma channel, for parameters relevant to a plasma-modulated plasma acc…

All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection

A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10

We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…

The AWAKE Run 2 programme and beyond

Edda Gschwendtner, Konstantin Lotov, Patric Muggli +99

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle accelerators. Use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been demonstrated…

Controlled Growth of the Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra

A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the…

Recovery time of a plasma-wakefield accelerator

R. D'Arcy, J. Chappell, J. Beinortaite +14

The interaction of intense particle bunches with plasma can give rise to plasma wakes capable of sustaining gigavolt-per-metre electric fields, which are orders of magnitude higher…
