This study focuses on quantifying and controlling hosing effects in plasma accelerators by inducing a known z-x tilt on the beam. The current method involves stretching the beam in the linac and adding dispersion at the interaction point using a sextupole mover. One of the main challenges is the poorly known 6D phase space in the linac. The plasma parameters utilized include Rb vapor at 1.1e17/cm³ and a 30 cm FWHM with Argon buffer gas. Phase space simulations are conducted to observe the hosing phenomena, particularly when the tail of the bunch is in the accelerating phase of the plasma bubble, achieving 5 GeV acceleration.
