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…

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…

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…
