Experimental Observation of Space-Charge Field Screening of a Relativistic Particle Bunch in Plasma
L. Verra, M. Galletti, R. Pompili +14
The space-charge field of a relativistic charged bunch propagating in plasma is screened due to the presence of mobile charge carriers. We experimentally investigate such screening…

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…

Focusing of a Long Relativistic Proton Bunch in Underdense Plasma
Livio Verra, Edda Gschwendtner, Patric Muggli
We discuss the focusing effect experienced by a long relativistic proton bunch, when propagating in underdense plasma. We show with 2D quasi-static simulations that the response of…
