Generation of 10-m-lengthscale plasma columns by resonant and off-resonant laser pulses

G. Demeter, J. T. Moody, M. A. Kedves +7

Creating extended, highly homogeneous plasma columns like that required by plasma wakefield accelerators can be a challenge. We study the propagation of ultra-short, TW power ioniz…

Mapping charge capture and acceleration in a plasma wakefield of a proton bunch using variable emittance electron beam injection

E. Granados, L. Verra, A. -M. Bachmann +10

In the Phase 2 of the AWAKE first experimental run (from May to November 2018), an electron beam was used to probe and test proton-driven wakefield acceleration in a rubidium plasm…

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…

Analysis of Proton Bunch Parameters in the AWAKE Experiment

V. Hafych, A. Caldwell, R. Agnello +85

A precise characterization of the incoming proton bunch parameters is required to accurately simulate the self-modulation process in the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). This…

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…
