Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
Measurement of the emittance of accelerated electron bunches at the AWAKE experiment
D. A. Cooke, F. Pannell, G. Zevi Della Porta +81
The vertical plane transverse emittance of accelerated electron bunches at the AWAKE experiment at CERN has been determined, using three different methods of data analysis. This is…
Effect of Dielectric Wakefields in a Capillary Discharge for Plasma Wakefield Acceleration
L. Verra, M. Galletti, R. Pompili +14
Dielectric capillaries are widely used to generate plasmas for plasma wakefield acceleration. When a relativistic drive bunch travels through a capillary with misaligned trajectory…
Techniques to seed the self-modulation instability of a long proton bunch in plasma
L. Verra, G. Zevi Della Porta, E. Gschwendtner +2
The Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN relies on the seeded Self-Modulation (SM) of a long relativistic proton bunch in plasma to accelerate an externally injected MeV w…
Adiabatic Focusing of a Long Proton Bunch in Plasma
L. Verra, E. Gschwendtner, P. Muggli
We show in experiments that a long, relativistic proton bunch is focused by the plasma adiabatic response. The free plasma electrons migrate so as to neutralize the space charge fi…
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…
Design of the AWAKE Run 2c transfer lines using numerical optimizers
Rebecca Ramjiawan, Vittorio Bencini, Steffen Doebert +5
The Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) Experiment is a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating the acceleration of electron beams via proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. AWAKE…
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…
Seeding of proton bunch self-modulation by an electron bunch in plasma
L. Verra, G. Zevi Della Porta, K. -J. Moon +3
The AWAKE experiment relies on the self-modulation instability of a long proton bunch to effectively drive wakefields and accelerate an electron bunch to GeV-level energies. During…
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…
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…
Electron beam characterization with beam loss monitors in AWAKE
L. Verra, M. Turner, S. Gessner +3
We present a method to measure transverse size and position of an electron or proton beam, close to the injection point in plasma wakefields, where other diagnostics are not availa…
Study of external electron beam injection into proton driven plasma wakefields for AWAKE Run2
L. Verra, E. Gschwendtner, P. Muggli
We describe an external electron injection scheme for the AWAKE experiment. We use scattering in two foils, that are necessary as vacuum window and laser beam dump, to decrease the…
