  4. PWFA CHARACTERISTICS Relativistic, short, dense bunch(es): Accelerating gradient: with and (max., single bunch, lin.) in Typically for 1GV/m: Blowout, nonlinear regime: Pure ion column focusing: free of geometric aberrations Wavebreaking field: Combination of large transverse focusing gradient and large accelerating field leads to large energy gain All the beam particles and the wake are ultra-relativistic no dephasing! High energy (per particle) drive bunch

  11. PWFA CHALLENGES Generation of drive/witness bunch train (ATF, FACET) Demonstration of bunch acceleration (FACET) Long plasma source for energy doubling (m-scale, ne≈1016-1017cm-3 range?) Low energy spread, careful beam loading, longitudinal bunch shaping? Low emittance, preserved over m-scale plasma (linear focusing, low scattering) Beam-plasma matching for low emittance beams

  12. PLD Detector e- To Plasma Correlated energy chirp from linac ∆z=434 µm ∆z=226 µm Emittance selection Choose microbunches spacing and widths with mask and beam parameters: N, ∆z, z, Q DRIVE/WITNEES BUNCH TRAIN GENERATION Muggli et al., PRL 2008

  13. Train for proof-of-principle experiments only, ne≈1016cm-3 plasma Need independent control of D and W bunch parameters DRIVE/WITNEES BUNCH TRAIN GENERATION @ SLAC FACET Use the same masking method Drive N=6.7x109e- sz=44µm Witness N=3.3x109e- sz=13µm

D to W energy transfer efficiency ≈30% No bunch shaping, bunches carved out of a single SLAC bunch Hogan, New J. Phys. 12, 055030 (2010)

  16. NARROW ENERGY SPREAD Effective beam loading with bunch shaping Witness bunch with linear density ramp perfect beam loading! No W bunch Very narrow energy spread with linear ramp in witness bunch charge. Tzoufras, Phys. Rev. Lett 2008

  17. CONCLUSION High gradient PWFA is a good candidate as a compact light source driver Physical parameters have been reached in proof of principle experiments Energy doubler (or more) concept attractive Challenges to produce required bunch quality (energy spread, …)
