Techniques to seed the self-modulation instability of a long proton bunch in plasma
L. Verra, G. Zevi Della Porta, E. Gschwendtner +2
The Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN relies on the seeded Self-Modulation (SM) of a long relativistic proton bunch in plasma to accelerate an externally injected MeV w…

Adiabatic Focusing of a Long Proton Bunch in Plasma
L. Verra, E. Gschwendtner, P. Muggli
We show in experiments that a long, relativistic proton bunch is focused by the plasma adiabatic response. The free plasma electrons migrate so as to neutralize the space charge fi…
