Wakefields in a cluster plasma
Mayr, M. W.; Ceurvorst, L.; Kasim, M. F.; Sadler, J. D.; Spiers, B.; Glize, K.; Savin, A. F.; Bourgeois, N.; Keeble, F.; Ross, A. J.; Symes, D. R.We report the first comprehensive study of large amplitude Langmuir waves in a plasma of nanometer-scale clusters. Using an oblique angle single-shot frequency domain holography diagnostic, the shape of these wakefields is captured for the first time. The wavefronts are observed to curve backwards, in contrast to the forwards curvature of wakefields in uniform plasma. Due to the expansion of the clusters, the f...
AWAKE: A proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment at CERN
Bracco, C; Amorim, L. D.; Assmann, R.; Batsch, F.; Bingham, R.; Burt, G.; Buttenschön, B.; Butterworth, A.; Caldwell, A.; Chattopadhyay, S.The AWAKE Collaboration has been formed in order to demonstrate proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for the first time. This acceleration technique could lead to future colliders of high energy but of a much reduced length when compared to proposed linear accelerators. The CERN SPS proton beam in the CNGS facility will be injected into a 10 m plasma cell where the long proton bunches will be modulated i...
