Experimental study of extended timescale dynamics of a plasma wakefield driven by a self-modulated proton bunch
J. Chappell, E. Adli, R. Agnello +96
Plasma wakefield dynamics over timescales up to 800 ps, approximately 100 plasma periods, are studied experimentally at the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). The development o…
Predicting the Trajectory of a Relativistic Electron Beam for External Injection in Plasma Wakefields
Felipe Peña Asmus, Francesco Maria Velotti, Marlene Turner +5
We use beam position measurements over the first part of the AWAKE electron beamline, together with beamline modeling, to deduce the beam average momentum and to predict the beam p…
Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration in AWAKE
Edda Gschwendtner, Marlene Turner, the AWAKE Collaboration
In this article, we briefly summarize the experiments performed during the first Run of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment, AWAKE, at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Researc…
External Electron Injection for the AWAKE Experiment
Marlene Turner, Chiara Bracco, Spencer Gessner +6
We summarize and explain the realization of witness particle injection into wakefields for the AWAKE experiment. In AWAKE, the plasma wakefields are driven by a self-modulating rel…
Experimental observation of proton bunch modulation in a plasma, at varying plasma densities
E. Adli, A. Ahuja, O. Apsimon +109
We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits t…
Experimental observation of plasma wakefield growth driven by the seeded self-modulation of a proton bunch
M. Turner, the AWAKE Collaboration
We measure the effects of transverse wakefields driven by a relativistic proton bunch in plasma with densities of and \unit[]{electrons/cm}…
