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…
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…
Energy Depletion and Re-Acceleration of Driver Electrons in a Plasma-Wakefield Accelerator
F. Peña, C. A. Lindstrøm, J. BeinortaitÄ +13
For plasma-wakefield accelerators to fulfil their potential for cost effectiveness, it is essential that their energy-transfer efficiency be maximized. A key aspect of this efficie…
Application of a plasma-based energy booster in operational free-electron lasers
Sarah Schroeder, Jens Osterhoff, Stephan Wesch +1
Plasma-based accelerators are a promising approach for reducing the size and cost of future particle accelerators, making them a viable technology for constructing and upgrading X-…
