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…
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…
Drive beam depletion with multi-Joule energy transfer in a plasma wakefield accelerator
R. Ariniello, V. Lee, D. Storey +7
A collider based on beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration will require the drive beam to transfer 10-100s of Joules to the plasma in each stage, with a drive-to-wake energy tra…
Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source
Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9
We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
