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…
Analytical Approximations for Beamstrahlung at Very High Energy Electron-Positron Colliders
Dongxing He, Arianna Formenti, Spencer Gessner +1
Among the many effects that occur in beam-beam electron-positron collisions at TeV energies, emission of hard synchrotron radiation, or beamstrahlung, has special importance. Beams…
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…
Proceedings of the Erice Workshop: A new baseline for the hybrid, asymmetric, linear Higgs factory HALHF
Brian Foster, Erik Adli, Timothy L. Barklow +21
The HALHF collaboration has discussed a new baseline for the project, taking into account comments from the accelerator community on various aspects of the original design. In part…
Experimental generation of extreme electron beams for advanced accelerator applications
Claudio Emma, Nathan Majernik, Kelly Swanson +13
In this Letter we report on the experimental generation of high energy (10 GeV), ultra-short (fs-duration), ultra-high current (0.1 MA), petawatt peak power electron beams in a par…
