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…

Wakefield regeneration in a resonantly driven plasma accelerator

John P. Farmer, Giovanni Zevi Della Porta

Plasma wakefields offer high acceleration gradients, orders of magnitude larger than conventional RF accelerators. However, the achievable luminosity remains relatively low, typica…

Filamentation of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra, C. Amoedo, N. Torrado +12

We show in experiments that a long, underdense, relativistic proton bunch propagating in plasma undergoes the oblique instability, that we observe as filamentation. We determine a…

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…

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…
