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…
Wakefield Generation in Hydrogen and Lithium Plasmas at FACET-II: Diagnostics and First Beam-Plasma Interaction Results
D. Storey, C. Zhang, P. San Miguel Claveria +28
Plasma Wakefield Acceleration (PWFA) provides ultrahigh acceleration gradients of 10s of GeV/m, providing a novel path towards efficient, compact, TeV-scale linear colliders and hi…
Generation of meter-scale hydrogen plasmas and efficient, pump-depletion-limited wakefield excitation using 10 GeV electron bunches
C. Zhang, D. Storey, P. San Miguel Claveria +26
High repetition rates and efficient energy transfer to the accelerating beam are important for a future linear collider based on the beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration schem…
Commissioning and first measurements of the initial X-ray and γ-ray detectors at FACET-II
P. San Miguel Claveria, D. Storey, G. J. Cao +21
The upgraded Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests (FACET-II) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has been designed to deliver ultra-relativistic electron and po…
