An electron injector for the Electron-Ion Collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration
J. P. Farmer, H. Jaworska, A. Caldwell +5
We describe an electron bunch injector scheme based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for the Electron-Ion Collider. The proton bunches needed to drive the plasma wake…

Pinching injection in wakefields for spin-polarized electron beams
Lars Reichwein, Dimitris Sofikitis, Oliver Mathiak +5
Pinching of the driver beam in plasma wakefield acceleration is generally considered an unwanted effect that needs to be mitigated. Here, we propose that this effect can be utilize…
