A 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 کاملUltra-High Gradient Dielectric Wakefield Accelerator Experiments
Ultra-high gradient dielectric wakefield accelerators are a potential option for a linear collider afterburner since they are immune to the ion collapse and electron/positron asymmetry problems implicit in a plasma based afterburner. The first phase of an experiment to study the performance of dielectric Cerenkov wakefield accelerating structures at extremely high gradients in the GV/m range ha...
متن کاملEnergy Measurements of Trapped Electrons from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Recent electron beam driven plasma wakefield accelerator experiments carried out at SLAC indicate trapping of plasma electrons. More charge came out of than went into the plasma. Most of this extra charge had energies at or below the 10 MeV level. In addition, there were trapped electron streaks that extended from a few GeV to tens of GeV, and there were mono-energetic trapped electron bunches ...
