Quasistatic modeling of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities
P. San Miguel Claveria, L. Gremillet, X. Davoine +5
Relativistic particle beams propagating through dense ambient plasmas are susceptible to streaming instabilities that can govern the system dynamics in various astrophysical and la…
Modeling ultrarelativistic streaming plasma instabilities under the quasistatic approximation
P. San Miguel Claveria, Q. Labro, X. Davoine +5
Plasma streaming instabilities excited by relativistic charged particle beams play a pivotal role in astrophysical and laboratory environments. Their numerical study, however, is c…
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…
Efficient Acceleration of High-Quality GeV-Electron Bunches in a Hybrid Laser- and Beam-Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
F. M. Foerster, M. Ayache, Z. Bi +24
Plasma-based accelerators are compact and provide high gradients, yet their practical use has been limited by energy gain, stability, beam quality, and energy transfer efficiency.…
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…
Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration
C. A. Lindstrøm, S. Corde, R. D'Arcy +4
Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration (PWFA) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize the field of particle acceleration, especially towar…
