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…
Drive beam depletion with multi-Joule energy transfer in a plasma wakefield accelerator
R. Ariniello, V. Lee, D. Storey +7
A collider based on beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration will require the drive beam to transfer 10-100s of Joules to the plasma in each stage, with a drive-to-wake energy tra…
Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source
Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9
We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
