Transformer ratio growth due to ion motion in plasma wakefield accelerators
V. A. Minakov, K. V. Lotov
We report a recently discovered counterintuitive effect where breaking of a Langmuir wave in a plasma wakefield accelerator leads to an increase in the accelerating field rather th…
Trajectory crossing in low density plasmas due to interaction with a long ultrarelativistic beam of charged particles
A. A. Gorn, K. V. Lotov
Breaking of a plasma wave driven by a long beam of charged particles results in electron jets escaping from the plasma column and forming an electron halo. For plasma densities les…
Simulation and Experimental Study of Proton Bunch Self-Modulation in Plasma with Linear Density Gradients
P. I. Morales Guzmán, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +88
We present numerical simulations and experimental results of the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in a plasma with linear density gradients along the beam path. Simulation re…
Ultimate plasma wakefield acceleration with 400 GeV proton driver
K. Lotov, P. Tuev
A new regime of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration is discovered, in which the plasma nonlinearity increases the phase velocity of the excited wave compared to that of the…
Transition between Instability and Seeded Self-Modulation of a Relativistic Particle Bunch in Plasma
F. Batsch, P. Muggli, R. Agnello +94
We use a relativistic ionization front to provide various initial transverse wakefield amplitudes for the self-modulation of a long proton bunch in plasma. We show experimentally t…
Wakefield decay in a radially bounded plasma due to formation of electron halo
R. I. Spitsyn, K. V. Lotov
There is a new effect that can limit the lifetime of a weakly nonlinear wakefield in a radially bounded plasma. If the drive beam is narrow, some of the plasma electrons fall out o…
