Ultrahigh brightness beams from plasma photoguns
A. F. Habib, T. Heinemann, G. G. Manahan +19
Plasma photocathodes open a path towards tunable production of well-defined, compact electron beams with normalized emittance and brightness many orders of magnitude better than st…
Tunable and precise two-bunch generation at FLASHForward
S. Schröder, K. Ludwig, A. Aschikhin +17
Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration based on external injection has the potential to significantly reduce the size of future accelerators. Stability and quality of the accele…
Electron bunch generation from a plasma photocathode
Aihua Deng, Oliver Karger, Thomas Heinemann +25
Plasma waves generated in the wake of intense, relativistic laser or particle beams can accelerate electron bunches to giga-electronvolt (GeV) energies in centimetre-scale distance…
FLASHForward: Plasma-wakefield accelerator science for high-average-power applications
R. D'Arcy, A. Aschikhin, S. Bohlen +33
The FLASHForward experimental facility is a high-performance test-bed for precision plasma-wakefield research, aiming to accelerate high-quality electron beams to GeV-levels in a f…
