PROGRESS TOWARD E-157: A 1 GeV PLASMA WAKEFIELD ACCELERATOR
A plasma based wakefield acceleration (PWFA) experiment, scheduled to run this summer, will accelerate parts of a 28.5 GeV bunch from the SLAC linac by up to 1 GeV over a length of 1 meter. A single 28.5 GeV bunch will both induce the wakefields in the one meter long plasma and witness the resulting acceleration fields. The experiment will explore and further develop the techniques that are nee...
متن کاملA High Transformer Ratio Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Scheme for Facet∗
The ideal drive beam current profile for the plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) has been predicted by 1D and 2D simulations to be characterized by a triangular ramp that rises linearly from head to tail, followed by a sharp drop. A technique for generating such bunches experimentally was recently demonstrated. We present here an adaptation of this scheme to generate ramped bunches using the 23...
متن کاملPositron Production in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
In a visit on Oct. 28, 1996 to the Center for Ultrafast Optical Studies at U. Michigan I had interesting conversations with Gerard Mourou and Don Umstadter about possible mechanisms for positron production in a plasma that is illuminated with a strong laser. I argue that positron production via a trident process (which includes Bethe-Heitler pair production) involving an isolated nucleus is pos...
متن کاملA Meter-Scale Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Plasma wakefield accelerators (PWFA) have recently shown substantial progress, attaining accelerating fields of more than 30 GV/m. The goal of the present experiment is to show that such accelerating fields can be sustained over the scale of a meter, resulting in a total energy gain comparable to the entire SLAC linear accelerator. We also seek to determine which factors limit the length of the...
متن کاملPlasma-wakefield acceleration of a positron beam.
Plasma-wakefield excitation by positron beams is examined in a regime for which the plasma dynamics are highly nonlinear. Three dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and physical models are presented. In the nonlinear wake regime known as the blowout regime for electrons, positron wakes exhibit an analogous "suck-in" behavior. Although analogous, the two wakefield cases are quite different i...
