Hosing of a long relativistic particle bunch in plasma
T. Nechaeva, L. Verra, J. Pucek +4
Experimental results show that hosing of a long particle bunch in plasma can be induced by wakefields driven by a short, misaligned preceding bunch. Hosing develops in the plane of…

Development of the Self-Modulation Instability of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma
L. Verra, S. Wyler, T. Nechaeva +7
Self-modulation is a beam-plasma instability that is useful to drive large-amplitude wakefields with bunches much longer than the plasma skin depth. We present experimental results…

Transient Hollow Cathode Effects and Z pinch Formation in a High Current Capillary Discharge with a Metal Plasma
Edmund S. Wyndham, Mario Favre, Raúl Aliaga Rossel +4
The results from a series of experiments are presented whose purpose is to explore different schemes which may lead to the formation of pure metal plasmas in a capillary discharge…
