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…
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…
