FLASHForward: Plasma-wakefield accelerator science for high-average-power applications
R. D'Arcy, A. Aschikhin, S. Bohlen +33
The FLASHForward experimental facility is a high-performance test-bed for precision plasma-wakefield research, aiming to accelerate high-quality electron beams to GeV-levels in a f…
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper
R. D'Arcy, S. Wesch, A. Aschikhin +23
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper has been developed at FLASHForward to remove the correlated energy spread of a 681~MeV electron bunch. Through the interaction of the bunch…
Emittance Preservation in an Aberration-Free Active Plasma Lens
C. A. Lindstrøm, E. Adli, G. Boyle +9
Active plasma lensing is a compact technology for strong focusing of charged particle beams, which has gained considerable interest for use in novel accelerator schemes. While prov…
Direct Measurement of Focusing Fields in Active Plasma Lenses
J. -H. Röckemann, L. Schaper, S. K. Barber +17
Active plasma lenses have the potential to enable broad-ranging applications of plasma-based accelerators owing to their compact design and radially symmetric kT/m-level focusing f…
