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…
Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16
Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…
Effect of Synchrotron Radiation on Staged Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
Livio Verra, Alexander Knetsch, Doug Storey
In a staged, beam-driven, plasma wakefield accelerator, electrons are accelerated in a sequence of plasma stages, each powered by a driver electron bunch. Between each stage, a mag…
Initial Performance of the E320 Tracker
Oleksandr Borysov, Sébastien Corde, Gal Evenzur +12
Our recent study discussed the prospects for measuring single positrons produced in electron-laser collisions via the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler deep-tunneling process in the SLAC Exp…
Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25
Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…
First results from the E302 efficiency$\unicode{x2013}$instability experiment at the FACET-II facility
O. G. Finnerud, E. Adli, R. Ariniello +18
The beam-breakup (BBU) instability in plasma accelerators is seeded by a transverse offset between the driver and a trailing bunch. The BBU instability induces oscillations in the…
