Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16

Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…

First results from the E302 efficiency$\unicode{x2013}$instability experiment at the FACET-II facility

O. G. Finnerud, E. Adli, R. Ariniello +18

The beam-breakup (BBU) instability in plasma accelerators is seeded by a transverse offset between the driver and a trailing bunch. The BBU instability induces oscillations in the…

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…
