A dump leakage calorimeter to measure the flux of high-energy electrons and photons
Antonios Athanassiadis, Ties Behnke, Jonas Björklund Svensson +18
We developed a novel apparatus based on a lead-glass calorimeter that can measure the flux of high-energy electrons or photons. Our detector uses the electromagnetic shower leakage…
Slice Emittance Preservation and Focus Control in a Passive Plasma Lens
J. Björklund Svensson, J. BeinortaitÄ, L. Boulton +15
Strong, symmetrically focusing plasma lenses are promising for accommodating the small beams associated with plasma-based accelerators and collider final foci. However, while focus…
Characterization of discharge capillaries via benchmarked hydrodynamic plasma simulations
S. M. Mewes, G. J. Boyle, R. D'Arcy +10
Plasma accelerators utilize strong electric fields in plasma waves to accelerate charged particles, making them a compact alternative to radiofrequency technologies. Discharge capi…
Ion-motion simulations of a plasma-wakefield experiment at FLASHForward
D. Kalvik, P. Drobniak, F. Peña +13
In plasma-based acceleration, an ultra-relativistic particle bunch$\unicode{x2014}$or an intense laser beam$\unicode{x2014}$is used to expel electrons from its propagation path, fo…
Experimental demonstration of a tomographic 5D phase-space reconstruction
S. Jaster-Merz, R. W. Assmann, J. BeinortaitÄ +17
Detailed knowledge of particle-beam properties is of great importance to understand and push the performance of existing and next-generation particle accelerators. We recently prop…
