Self-modulation instability of ultra-relativistic particle bunches with finite rise times
J. Vieira, L. D. Amorim, Y. Fang +3
We study the evolution of the self-modulation instability using bunches with finite rise times. Using particle-in-cell simulations we show that unlike long bunches with sharp rise…
Electron trapping and acceleration by the plasma wakefield of a self-modulating proton beam
K. V. Lotov, A. P. Sosedkin, A. V. Petrenko +6
It is shown that co-linear injection of electrons or positrons into the wakefield of the self-modulating particle beam is possible and ensures high energy gain. The witness beam mu…
Self-injection by trapping of plasma electrons oscillating in rising density gradient at the vacuum-plasma interface
Aakash A. Sahai, Thomas C. Katsouleas, Patric Muggli
We model the trapping of plasma within the density structures excited by a propagating energy source () in a rising plasma density gradient. Rising density grad…
Hosing Instability Suppression in Self-Modulated Plasma Wakefields
J. Vieira, W. B. Mori, P. Muggli
We show that the hosing instability can be suppressed after the saturation of the self-modulation instability of a long particle bunch if the plasma density perturbation is linear.…
Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration: a path to the future of high-energy particle physics
AWAKE Collaboration, R. Assmann, R. Bingham +47
New acceleration technology is mandatory for the future elucidation of fundamental particles and their interactions. A promising approach is to exploit the properties of plasmas. P…
