Report on the Advanced Linear Collider Study Group (ALEGRO) Workshop 2026
L. Verra, P. Muggli, B. Cross +56
The 7th ALEGRO workshop, hosted by INFN Frascati National Laboratories from 3rd to 5th March 2026, brought together the international Advanced Novel Accelerators (ANA) community to…
An electron injector for the Electron-Ion Collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration
J. P. Farmer, H. Jaworska, A. Caldwell +5
We describe an electron bunch injector scheme based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for the Electron-Ion Collider. The proton bunches needed to drive the plasma wake…
Tolerances to driver-witness misalignment in a quasilinear plasma wakefield accelerator
T. C. Wilson, J. Farmer, K. Lotov +1
Plasma-based accelerators offer high accelerating gradients and scalability through staging or long plasma sources, which makes them good candidates for future accelerator and coll…
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…
Influence of ion motion in a resonantly driven wakefield accelerator
Erwin Walter, John P. Farmer, Marlene Turner +1
Several different schemes for plasma wakefield acceleration using a train of drivers have been pursued, based on the resonant excitation of a plasma wave. Since these schemes rely…
Contribution of ALEGRO to the Update of the European Strategy on Particle Physics
B. Cros, P. Muggli, L. Corner +18
Advanced and novel accelerators (ANAs), driven a by laser pulse or a relativistic particle bunch, have made remarkable progress over the last decades. They accelerated electrons by…
