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…

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…

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 beam defocusing in AWAKE: comparison of simulations and measurements

A. A. Gorn, M. Turner, E. Adli +96

In 2017, AWAKE demonstrated the seeded self-modulation (SSM) of a 400 GeV proton beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The angular distribution of the protons defle…

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…

Experimental Study of Wakefields Driven by a Self-Modulating Proton Bunch in Plasma

M. Turner, P. Muggli, the AWAKE Collaboration

We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growt…

Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration in AWAKE

Edda Gschwendtner, Marlene Turner, the AWAKE Collaboration

In this article, we briefly summarize the experiments performed during the first Run of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment, AWAKE, at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Researc…

Experimental observation of proton bunch modulation in a plasma, at varying plasma densities

E. Adli, A. Ahuja, O. Apsimon +109

We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits t…

Acceleration of electrons in the plasma wakefield of a proton bunch

The AWAKE Collaboration, E. Adli, A. Ahuja +91

High energy particle accelerators have been crucial in providing a deeper understanding of fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. In order to increase…

Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration: a path to the future of high-energy particle physics

AWAKE Collaboration, R. Assmann, R. Bingham +47

New acceleration technology is mandatory for the future elucidation of fundamental particles and their interactions. A promising approach is to exploit the properties of plasmas. P…
