Limits on energy recovery for positron acceleration in a warm plasma column
Max Varverakis, Spencer Gessner, Severin Diederichs +1
Beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is a promising candidate for realizing a future linear collider, owing to the extremely high field gradients that are produced in p…
Liquid xenon positron target flow optimizations
Max Varverakis, Spencer Gessner, Silviu Covrig Dusa +3
In a previous work, we explored liquid xenon (LXe)-based positron targets as an alternative to conventional high-Z metallic targets for high energy physics applications. In this pa…
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…
Energy recovery in filament-regime plasma wakefield acceleration of positron beams
Max Varverakis, Robert Holtzapple, Severin Diederichs +2
Plasma wakefield acceleration using an electron filament offers stable, high-gradient, high-quality acceleration of positron beams analogous to the acceleration of electrons in the…
A Liquid Xenon Positron Target Concept
Max Varverakis, Robert Holtzapple, Hiroki Fujii +1
Positron targets are a critical component of future Linear Colliders. Traditional targets are composed of high-Z metals that become brittle over time due to constant bombardment by…
