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…

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…

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…
