Beam Dynamics Framework Incorporating Acceleration to Define the Minimum Aperture in Two Focusing Schemes for Proton Radiotherapy Linac

Matthew Southerby, Robert Apsimon

In this paper, a self-consistent transverse beam dynamics framework is demonstrated, that incorporates acceleration into the transverse beam dynamics studies for a proton linac mac…

Fast Tracking of 6D Particle Phase Space Using the FC2CT Algorithm for rf Cavities

Matthew Southerby, Robert Apsimon

In this paper, a fast cell to cell tracking algorithm (FC2CT) is developed, that determines the change in 6D phase space of a particle beam through rf accelerating cavities operate…

Hosing of a long relativistic particle bunch in plasma

T. Nechaeva, L. Verra, J. Pucek +4

Experimental results show that hosing of a long particle bunch in plasma can be induced by wakefields driven by a short, misaligned preceding bunch. Hosing develops in the plane of…

Development of the Self-Modulation Instability of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra, S. Wyler, T. Nechaeva +7

Self-modulation is a beam-plasma instability that is useful to drive large-amplitude wakefields with bunches much longer than the plasma skin depth. We present experimental results…

The AWAKE Run 2 programme and beyond

Edda Gschwendtner, Konstantin Lotov, Patric Muggli +99

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle accelerators. Use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been demonstrated…

Controlled Growth of the Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra

A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the…
