TL;DR: A brief description of the SLAC and KEK B Factories as well as their detectors, BaBar and Belle, and data taking related issues can be found in Part A of this book as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A plasma-wakefield accelerator has accelerated particles by over 2.7 GeV in a 10 cm long plasma module, driving a large amplitude plasma wake that in turn accelerates particles in the back of the bunch by more than 2.8 GeV.

TL;DR: The experimentally inferred trapping threshold is at a wake amplitude of 36 GV/m, in good agreement with an analytical model and PIC simulations, and the onset of trapping of electrons born inside a highly relativistic, 3D beam-driven plasma wake is investigated.

TL;DR: The BaBar detector operated successfully at the PEP-II asymmetric e + e-collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1999 to 2008 as mentioned in this paper, and the performance of the collider and the detector systems, as well as the trigger, online and offline computing, and aspects of event reconstruction since the beginning of data taking.

TL;DR: The successful utilization of an ion channel in a plasma to wiggle a 28.5-GeV electron beam to obtain broadband x-ray radiation is reported, and the quadratic density dependence and divergence angle of approximately (1-3)x10-4 radian of the forward-emitted x-rays as a consequence of betatron motion in the ion channel are in good agreement with theory.
