I. Blumenfeld,C. E. Clayton,Franz-Josef Decker,Mark Hogan,Chengkun Huang,Rasmus Ischebeck,R. Iverson,Chan Joshi,Tom Katsouleas,Neil Kirby,Wei Lu,K. A. Marsh,Warren Mori,Patric Muggli,Erdem Oz,Robert H. Siemann,Dieter Walz,Miaomiao Zhou +17 more
TL;DR: An energy gain of more than 42 GeV is achieved in a plasma wakefield accelerator of 85 cm length, driven by a 42GeV electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), in excellent agreement with the predictions of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear theory for relativistic plasma wakefields in the blowout regime.
TL;DR: A theory for nonlinear, multidimensional plasma waves with phase velocities near the speed of light is presented, appropriate for describing plasma waves excited when all electrons are expelled out from a finite region by either the space charge of a short electron beam or the radiation pressure of an intense laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear theory for multidimensional relativistic plasma wave wakefieldsa)
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear kinetic theory for multidimensional plasma wave wakes with phase velocities near the speed of light is presented, which is appropriate for describing plasma wakes excited in the so-called blowout regime by either electron beams or laser pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beam Loading in the Nonlinear Regime of Plasma-Based Acceleration
Michail Tzoufras,Wei Lu,Frank Tsung,Chengkun Huang,Warren Mori,Tom Katsouleas,Jorge Vieira,Ricardo Fonseca,Luis O. Silva +8 more
TL;DR: A theory that describes how to load negative charge into a nonlinear, three-dimensional plasma wakefield is presented and it is shown that very high beam-loading efficiency can be achieved, while the energy spread of the bunch is conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI
QUICKPIC: a highly efficient particle-in-cell code for modeling wakefield acceleration in plasmas
Chengkun Huang,Viktor Decyk,Chuang Ren,Miaomiao Zhou,Wei Lu,Warren Mori,James Cooley,Thomas M. Antonsen,Tom Katsouleas +8 more
TL;DR: A highly efficient, fully parallelized, fully relativistic, three-dimensional particle-in-cell model for simulating plasma and laser wakefield acceleration is described, based on the quasi-static or frozen field approximation.
