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…
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…
Long range propagation of ultrafast, ionizing laser pulses in a resonant nonlinear medium
G. Demeter, J. T. Moody, M. Aladi +18
We study the propagation of 0.05-1 TW power, ultrafast laser pulses in a 10 meter long rubidium vapor cell. The central wavelength of the laser is resonant with the line of r…
Online Multi-Objective Particle Accelerator Optimization of the AWAKE Electron Beam Line for Simultaneous Emittance and Orbit Control
Alexander Scheinker, Simon Hirlaende, Francesco Maria Velotti +4
Multi-objective optimization is important for particle accelerators where various competing objectives must be satisfied routinely such as, for example, transverse emittance vs bun…
