Demonstration of a 10-metre-long discharge plasma source for plasma wakefield acceleration

C. Amoedo, N. Lopes, N. E. Torrado +13

The AWAKE experiment at CERN uses high-energy proton bunches to drive plasma wakefields capable of accelerating electron bunches up to hundreds of GeV in a single plasma. Realising…

Seeding of Self-Modulation using Truncated Seed Bunches as a Path to High Gradient Acceleration

N. Z. van Gils, E. Belli, M. Bergamaschi +11

This manuscript proposes a method to enable controlled high-gradient particle acceleration when requiring self-modulation of the drive bunch. While electron bunch seeding of self-m…

Measurement of the Saturation Length of the Self-Modulation Instability

A. Clairembaud, M. Turner, M. Bergamaschi +8

The self-modulation (SM) instability transforms a long charged particle bunch traveling in plasma into a train of microbunches that resonantly drives large-amplitude wakefields. We…

Experimental Observation of Motion of Ions in a Resonantly Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

M. Turner, E. Walter, C. Amoedo +15

We show experimentally that an effect of motion of ions, observed in a plasma-based accelerator, depends inversely on the plasma ion mass. The effect appears within a single wakefi…

Evolution of a plasma column measured through modulation of a high-energy proton beam

S. Gessner, the AWAKE Collaboration

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a method for accelerating particle beams using electromagnetic fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those found in conventional radio fr…
