Tolerances to driver-witness misalignment in a quasilinear plasma wakefield accelerator
T. C. Wilson, J. Farmer, K. Lotov +1
Plasma-based accelerators offer high accelerating gradients and scalability through staging or long plasma sources, which makes them good candidates for future accelerator and coll…

Self-Adaptive Stabilization and Quality Boost for Electron Beams from All-Optical Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
D. Campbell, T. Heinemann, A. Dickson +14
Shot-to-shot fluctuations in electron beams from laser wakefield accelerators present a significant challenge for applications. Here, we show that instead of using such fluctuating…

Ultra-high-gain water-window X-ray laser driven by plasma photocathode wakefield acceleration
Lily H. A. Berman, David Campbell, Edgar Hartmann +4
X-ray free-electron lasers are large and complex machines, limited by electron beam brightness. Here we show through start-to-end simulations how to realise compact, robust and tun…
