The effect of alternative propellants on the electron drift instability in Hall-effect thrusters: Insight from 2D Particle-In-Cell simulations
Vivien Croes, Antoine Tavant, Romain Lucken +4
Hall-effect thrusters (HETs) operated with xenon are one of the most commonly used electric propulsion technologies for a wide range of space missions, including drag compensation…
Optmized stability of a modulated driver in a plasma wakefield accelerator
Roberto Martorelli, Alexander Pukhov
We analyze the transverse stability for a configuration of multiple gaussian bunches subject to the self-generated plasma wakefield. Through a semi-analytical approach we first stu…
Characterization of the equilibrium configuration for modulated beams in a plasma wakefield accelerator
Roberto Martorelli, Alexander Pukhov
We analyze the equilibrium configuration for a modulated beam with sharp boundaries exposed to the fields self-generated by the interaction with a plasma. Through a semi-analytical…
Effect of a stochastic electric field on plasma confinement in FTU
Roberto Martorelli, Giovanni Montani, Nakia Carlevaro
We discuss a stochastic model for the behavior of electrons in a magnetically confined plasma having axial symmetry. The aim of the work is to provide an explanation for the densit…
Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept
A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118
This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…
