Resonant Excitation of Surface Plasmon for Wakefield Acceleration by Beating GW Lasers on Smooth Cylindrical Surface
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Alexandre Bonatto +5
We present a theoretical and numerical study of resonant surface-plasmon (SP) excitation driven by the beating of two co-propagating laser pulses on a smooth cylindrical plasma-vac…
Coherent synchrotron radiation by excitation of surface plasmon polariton on near-critical solid microtube surface
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Daniel Seipt +5
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is crucial for the development of powerful ultrashort light sources. We present a mechanism for generating CSR in the form of generalised super…
Leaky surface plasmon-based wakefield acceleration in nanostructured carbon nanotubes
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Cristian Bontoiu +6
Metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can provide ultra-dense, homogeneous plasma capable of sustaining resonant plasma waves-known as plasmons-with ultra-high field amplitudes. These w…
Electron Acceleration in Carbon Nanotubes
Cristian Bontoiu, Alexandre Bonatto, Öznur Apsimon +16
Wakefield wavelengths associated with solid-state plasmas greatly limit the accelerating length. An alternative approach employs 2D carbon-based nanomaterials, like graphene or car…
100s TeV/m-Level Particle Accelerators Driven by High-density Electron Beams in Micro Structured Carbon Nanotube Forest Channel
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Cristian Bontoiu +5
Solid-state materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have the potential to support ultra-high accelerating fields in the TV/m range for charged particle acceleration. In this st…
Experimental observation of proton bunch modulation in a plasma, at varying plasma densities
E. Adli, A. Ahuja, O. Apsimon +109
We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits t…
Study of ultra-high gradient acceleration in carbon nanotube arrays
J. Resta-López, A. Alexandrova, V. Rodin +5
Solid-state based wakefield acceleration of charged particles was previously proposed to obtain extremely high gradients on the order of 1-10 TeV/m. In recent years the possibility…
Modeling of an Electron Injector for the AWAKE Project
O. Mete, G. Xia, R. Apsimon +4
Particle-in-cell simulations were performed by using PARMELA to characterise an electron injector with a booster linac for the AWAKE project in order to provide the baseline specif…
An collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration
M. Wing, G. Xia, O. Mete +4
Recent simulations have shown that a high-energy proton bunch can excite strong plasma wakefields and accelerate a bunch of electrons to the energy frontier in a single stage of ac…
Beam Halo Imaging with a Digital Optical Mask
H. D. Zhang, R. B. Fiorito, A. G. Shkvarunets +2
Beam halo is an important factor in any high intensity accelerator. It can cause difficulties in the control of the beam, emittance growth, particle loss and even damage to the acc…
