Oscillation damper for misaligned witness in plasma wakefield accelerator

K. V. Lotov, I. Yu. Kargapolov, P. V. Tuev

If a laser- or particle beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator operates in the linear or moderately nonlinear regime, injecting an externally produced particle bunch (witness) to…

Development of the Self-Modulation Instability of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra, S. Wyler, T. Nechaeva +7

Self-modulation is a beam-plasma instability that is useful to drive large-amplitude wakefields with bunches much longer than the plasma skin depth. We present experimental results…

The AWAKE Run 2 programme and beyond

Edda Gschwendtner, Konstantin Lotov, Patric Muggli +99

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle accelerators. Use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been demonstrated…

Advanced quasistatic approximation

P. V. Tuev, R. I. Spitsyn, K. V. Lotov

The quasistatic approximation (QSA) is an efficient method of simulating laser- and beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration, but it becomes imprecise if some plasma particles mak…

Controlled Growth of the Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Proton Bunch in Plasma

L. Verra

A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the…

Analysis of Proton Bunch Parameters in the AWAKE Experiment

V. Hafych, A. Caldwell, R. Agnello +85

A precise characterization of the incoming proton bunch parameters is required to accurately simulate the self-modulation process in the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). This…
