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…
Compensating slice emittance growth in high brightness photoinjectors using sacrificial charge
W. H. Li, A. C. Bartnik, A. Fukasawa +5
Achieving maximum electron beam brightness in photoinjectors requires detailed control of the 3D bunch shape and precise tuning of the beam focusing. Even in state-of-the-art desig…
Observation of Skewed Electromagnetic Wakefields in an Asymmetric Structure Driven by Flat Electron Bunches
Walter Lynn, Tianzhe Xu, Gerard Andonian +8
Relativistic charged-particle beams which generate intense longitudinal fields in accelerating structures also inherently couple to transverse modes. The effects of this coupling m…
Flat beam plasma wakefield accelerator
Pratik Manwani, Nathan Majernik, Joshua Mann +5
Particle beams with highly asymmetric emittance ratios are expected at the interaction point of high energy colliders. These asymmetric beams can be used to drive high gradient wak…
