Experimental Observation of the Motion of Ions in a Resonantly Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

Patrick Blanchard, Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Yanis Andrebe, Riccardo Agnello, Christine Stollberg

We show experimentally that an effect of motion of ions, observed in a plasma-based accelerator, depends inversely on the plasma ion mass. The effect appears within a single wakefield event and manifests itself as a bunch tail, occurring only when sufficie ...

Hosing of a Long Relativistic Particle Bunch in Plasma

Patrick Blanchard, Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Yanis Andrebe, Alban Sublet, Sun Hee Kim, Riccardo Agnello, Christine Stollberg, Shuai Liu

Experimental results show that hosing of a long particle bunch in plasma can be induced by wakefields driven by a short, misaligned preceding bunch. Hosing develops in the plane of misalignment, selfmodulation in the perpendicular plane, at frequencies clo ...

Filamentation of a relativistic proton bunch in plasma

Patrick Blanchard, Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Yanis Andrebe, Riccardo Agnello, Christine Stollberg

We show in experiments that a long, underdense, relativistic proton bunch propagating in plasma undergoes the oblique instability, which we observe as filamentation. We determine a threshold value for the ratio between the bunch transverse size and plasma ...

Patrick Blanchard, Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Samuel Rey-Mermet, Yanis Andrebe, Alban Sublet, Sun Hee Kim, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Riccardo Agnello, Christine Stollberg, Shuai Liu

Self-modulation is a beam-plasma instability that is useful to drive large-amplitude wakefields with bunches much longer than the plasma skin depth. We present experimental results showing that, when increasing the ratio between the initial transverse size ...
