title: Observation of plasma wakefield acceleration in the underdense regime

format: unknown

year: 2000

5 authors: N. Barov | J. B. Rosenzweig | M. E. Conde | W. Gai | J. G. Power

abstract: 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 column. This ion column in turn allows the drive and accelerating beams to be well guided over many initial beam beta-function lengths. The results of these experiments, which have taken place over several years, are reviewed. Notable achievements in the course of these studies include the creation and measurement of drive and witness beam generated in an rf photoinjector, as well as previously published studies on drive beam guiding in the underdense regime. In addition, these experiments allowed measurement of both beam energy loss and gain, at a maximum average rate of 25 MeV/m in this regime of the PWFA, which is consistent with a peak acceleration gradient of 62 MeV/m in the excited waves. Difficulties associated with this type of experiment are discussed, as are prospects for mitigating these difficulties and achieving high gradient acceleration in planned future experiments.

title: Propagation of short electron pulses in a plasma channel

format: unknown

year: 1998

4 authors: N. Barov | M. E. Conde | W. Gai | J. B. Rosenzweig

abstract: We report the near-steady-state propagation over long distance of a 25 psec, tightly focused relativistic electron beam which creates, by radial ejection of plasma electrons, a focusing ion channel in a plasma of electron density smaller than the beam. A dense beam core, close in radius to the injected beam, which was nearly matched to the ion focusing strength, is observed at the plasma exit. Time-resolved imaging confirms that this core is situated in the trailing half of the beam, as predicted by analytical and computer models. We discuss the impact of these results on plasma wake field acceleration schemes. (16 References).
