Transformer ratio growth due to ion motion in plasma wakefield accelerators
V. A. Minakov, K. V. Lotov
We report a recently discovered counterintuitive effect where breaking of a Langmuir wave in a plasma wakefield accelerator leads to an increase in the accelerating field rather th…
Proton beam self-modulation seeded by electron bunch in plasma with density ramp
K. V. Lotov, V. A. Minakov
Seeded self-modulation in a plasma can transform a long proton beam into a train of micro-bunches that can excite a strong wakefield over long distances, but this needs the plasma…
Witness emittance growth caused by driver density fluctuations in plasma wakefield accelerators
V. A. Minakov, M. Tacu, A. P. Sosedkin +1
We discovered a novel effect that can cause witness emittance growth in plasma wakefield accelerators. The effect appears in linear or moderately nonlinear plasma waves. The witnes…
Parameter sensitivity of plasma wakefields driven by self-modulating proton beams
K. V. Lotov, V. A. Minakov, A. P. Sosedkin
The dependence of wakefield amplitude and phase on beam and plasma parameters is studied in the parameter area of interest for self-modulating proton beam-driven plasma wakefield a…
