| abstract: | When a short electron beam propagates in an underdense plasma (plasma density n_p < beam density n_b) with a downward density transition, it is known that some background plasma electrons are trapped and accelerated by the plasma wakefield[1]. Beam quality of the trapped plasma electrons is severely affected by the wakefield that is generated by the driving electron beam, so dynamics and instabilities of the driver beam are very important. In this paper, we present some simulation results on the self-trapping and driver beam dynamics. |
