Drive beam depletion with multi-Joule energy transfer in a plasma wakefield accelerator
R. Ariniello, V. Lee, D. Storey +7
A collider based on beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration will require the drive beam to transfer 10-100s of Joules to the plasma in each stage, with a drive-to-wake energy tra…
Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source
Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9
We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
Prospects for the production and detection of Breit-Wheeler tunneling positrons in Experiment 320 at the FACET-II accelerator
Oleksandr Borysov, Alon Levi, Sebastian Meuren +7
The SLAC Experiment 320 collides 10 TW-class laser pulses with the high-quality, 10 GeV electron beam from the FACET-II RF LINAC. This setup is expected to produce a sizable number…
A High-Flux Electron Detector System to Measure Non-linear Compton Scattering at LUXE
Antonios Athanassiadis, Robert Ariniello, Louis Helary +14
Recently, advancements in high-intensity laser technology have enabled the exploration of non-perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in strong-field regimes. Notable aspects in…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
The Linear Collider Facility (LCF) at CERN
H. Abramowicz, E. Adli, F. Alharthi +406
In this paper we outline a proposal for a Linear Collider Facility as the next flagship project for CERN. It offers the opportunity for a timely, cost-effective and staged construc…
