Positron acceleration in plasma waves driven by non-neutral fireball beams

Thales Silva, Jorge Vieira

Plasma-based positron acceleration is still an open question, as the most efficient regimes for electron acceleration (quasi-linear and blowout) are not directly applicable to posi…

RaDiO: an efficient spatiotemporal radiation diagnostic for particle-in-cell codes

M. Pardal, A. Sainte-Marie, A. Reboul-Salze +2

This work describes a novel radiation algorithm designed to capture the three-dimensional, space-time resolved electromagnetic field structure emitted by large ensembles of charged…

The AWAKE Run 2 programme and beyond

Edda Gschwendtner, Konstantin Lotov, Patric Muggli +99

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle accelerators. Use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been demonstrated…

Anisotropic heating and magnetic field generation due to Raman scattering in laser-plasma interactions

Thales Silva, Kevin Schoeffler, Jorge Vieira +3

We identify a mechanism for magnetic field generation in the interaction of intense electromagnetic waves and underdense plasmas. We show that Raman scattered plasma waves trap and…

Experimental study of extended timescale dynamics of a plasma wakefield driven by a self-modulated proton bunch

J. Chappell, E. Adli, R. Agnello +96

Plasma wakefield dynamics over timescales up to 800 ps, approximately 100 plasma periods, are studied experimentally at the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). The development o…
