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…

Analysis of Proton Bunch Parameters in the AWAKE Experiment

V. Hafych, A. Caldwell, R. Agnello +85

A precise characterization of the incoming proton bunch parameters is required to accurately simulate the self-modulation process in the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). This…

Simulation and Experimental Study of Proton Bunch Self-Modulation in Plasma with Linear Density Gradients

P. I. Morales Guzmán, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +88

We present numerical simulations and experimental results of the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in a plasma with linear density gradients along the beam path. Simulation re…

Transition between Instability and Seeded Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Particle Bunch in Plasma

F. Batsch, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +94

We use a relativistic ionization front to provide various initial transverse wakefield amplitudes for the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in plasma. We show experimentally t…
