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…
FACET2-S2E: Start-to-end simulations of the FACET-II beamline
Nathan Majernik, Frederick Cropp, Claudio Emma +1
FACET2-S2E is a Python package for start-to-end simulations of the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests-II (FACET-II), a US Department of Energy National User Facil…
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…
Nanometer-scale pre-bunched electron beams generated from all-optical plasma-based acceleration
Zhenan Wang, Zewei Xu, Qianyi Ma +7
High-quality and prebunched electron beams can produce coherent x-rays with high intensity and narrow bandwidth, which is essential for modern light sources. An all-optical scheme…
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…
