QUARZ: a quasi-static particle-in-cell code with non-uniform radial grids for plasma wakefields
Alexander Pukhov, Thomas C. Wilson
We present a quasi-static particle-in-cell scheme for beam-driven plasma wakefields in cylindrical geometry that works on an arbitrary non-uniform radial grid. The field equations…
A plasma photocathode for spin-polarized electron beams via state-selected hydrogen halide photofragments
Lars Reichwein, Thomas C. Wilson, Dimitris Sofikitis +6
Spin-polarized electron beams are essential tools for probing fundamental symmetries and for the search beyond the Standard Model. While plasma-based accelerators are a promising p…
Report on the Advanced Linear Collider Study Group (ALEGRO) Workshop 2026
L. Verra, P. Muggli, B. Cross +56
The 7th ALEGRO workshop, hosted by INFN Frascati National Laboratories from 3rd to 5th March 2026, brought together the international Advanced Novel Accelerators (ANA) community to…
Galilean Electromagnetic Particle-in-Cell Code
Alexander Pukhov, Nina Elkina, Tom Wilson
We introduce a Galilean electromagnetic particle-in-cell (GEM-PIC) algorithm, which transforms the full set of Maxwell equations and the Vlasov equation into the boosted coordinate…
Proton-Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration for Future HEP Colliders
Allen Caldwell, John Farmer, Nelson Lopes +3
We discuss the main elements of a collider facility based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. We show that very competitive luminosities could be reached for high energ…
