Adiabatic sheath model for beam-driven blowout plasma channels
Yulong Liu, Ming Zeng, Lars Reichwein +1
In plasma wakefield accelerators, the structure of the blowout sheath is vital for the blowout radius and the electromagnetic field distribution inside the blowout. Previous theori…
Plasma acceleration of polarized particle beams
Lars Reichwein, Zheng Gong, Chuan Zheng +3
Spin-polarized particle beams are of interest for applications like deep-inelastic scattering, e.g. to gain further understanding of the proton's nuclear structure. With the advent…
Production and magnetic self-confinement of plasma by an extremely intense laser pulse incident on a structured solid target
Alexander Samsonov, Alexander Pukhov
We propose an all-optical, single-laser-pulse scheme for generating dense, relativistic, strongly-magnetized electron-positron pair plasma. The scheme involves the interaction of a…
Wakefield-driven filamentation of warm beams in plasma
Erwin Walter, John P. Farmer, Martin S. Weidl +2
Charged and quasi-neutral beams propagating through an unmagnetised plasma are subject to numerous collisionless instabilities on the small scale of the plasma skin depth. The elec…
Stable high-transformer ratio beam-wakefield acceleration in cusp plasma channels
Alexander Pukhov, Lars Reichwein
Wakefield excitation by structured electron bunches in hollow gaps between plasma wedges is studied using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The main part of the elect…
High-energy polarized electron beams from the ionization of isolated spin polarized hydrogen atoms
Dimitris Sofikitis, Lars Reichwein, Marios G. Stamatakis +5
We propose a laser-based method for the preparation of high-energy polarized electrons, from the ionization of isolated spin-polarized hydrogen (SPH) atoms. The SPH atoms are prepa…
Preliminary Investigation of a Higgs Factory based on Proton-Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration
John P Farmer, Allen Caldwell, Alexander Pukhov
A Higgs Factory is considered the highest priority next collider project by the high-energy physics community. Very advanced designs based on radio-frequency cavities exist, and va…
