Observation of plasma wakefield acceleration in the underdense regime
Initial experiments which have explored the physics of the underdense (blowout) regime of the plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility are reported. In this regime, the relativistic electron beam is denser than the plasma, causing the beam channel to completely rarefy, and leaving a high quality accelerating region which also contains a uniform ion colum...
متن کاملThe optimum plasma density for plasma wakefield excitation in the blowout regime
The optimum plasma density for achieving the largest wakefield accelerating gradient in a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) for a given electron beam driver parameters (fixed charge, spot size and duration) is analyzed. It is found that the peak beam current Ip (charge per unit time) plays an important role in determining the optimum density. We show that for narrow beams of low peak current ...
متن کاملComputationally efficient methods for modelling laser wakefield acceleration in the blowout regime
Electron self-injection and acceleration until dephasing in the blowout regime is studied for a set of initial conditions typical of recent experiments with 100-terawatt-class lasers. Two different approaches to computationally efficient, fully explicit, 3D particle-in-cell modelling are examined. First, the Cartesian code vorpal (Nieter, C. and Cary, J. R. 2004 VORPAL: a versatile plasma simul...
متن کاملThermal Trapping in the Blowout Regime of the Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
The nonlinear, blowout regime of the plasma wakefield accelerator has been the subject of considerable interest due to its potential for use as a next generation accelerator in high energy physics experiments. Much of the analytical work and simulation in this regime has been restricted to scenarios of cold background plasma. Significant theoretical results concerning plasma thermal effects hav...
متن کاملCosmic Plasma Wakefield Acceleration
Recently we proposed a new cosmic acceleration mechanism which was based on the wakefields excited by the Alfven shocks in a relativistically flowing plasma. In this paper we include some omitted details, and show that there exists a threshold condition for transparency below which the accelerating particle is collision-free and suffers little energy loss in the plasma medium. The stochastic en...
