Demonstration of a 10-metre-long discharge plasma source for plasma wakefield acceleration
C. Amoedo, N. Lopes, N. E. Torrado +13
The AWAKE experiment at CERN uses high-energy proton bunches to drive plasma wakefields capable of accelerating electron bunches up to hundreds of GeV in a single plasma. Realising…
Measurement of the Saturation Length of the Self-Modulation Instability
A. Clairembaud, M. Turner, M. Bergamaschi +8
The self-modulation (SM) instability transforms a long charged particle bunch traveling in plasma into a train of microbunches that resonantly drives large-amplitude wakefields. We…
Development of self-modulation as a function of plasma length
Arthur Clairembaud, Marlene Turner, Patric Muggli
We use numerical simulations to determine whether the saturation length of the self-modulation (SM) instability of a long proton bunch in plasma could be determined by measuring th…
Implementation of Light Diagnostics for Wakefields at AWAKE
Jan Mezger, Michele Bergamaschi, Lucas Ranc +5
We describe the implementation of light diagnostics for studying the self-modulation instability of a long relativistic proton bunch in a 10m-long plasma. The wakefields driven by…
Experimental Observation of Motion of Ions in a Resonantly Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
M. Turner, E. Walter, C. Amoedo +15
We show experimentally that an effect of motion of ions, observed in a plasma-based accelerator, depends inversely on the plasma ion mass. The effect appears within a single wakefi…
Filamentation of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma
L. Verra, C. Amoedo, N. Torrado +12
We show in experiments that a long, underdense, relativistic proton bunch propagating in plasma undergoes the oblique instability, that we observe as filamentation. We determine a…
