Experimental study of wakefields driven by a self-modulating proton bunch in plasma
Physical Review Accelerators and Beams American Physical Society 23:8 (2020) 81302
Abstract:
We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields’ growth and amplitude increase with increasing seed amplitude as well as with the proton bunch charge in the plasma. We study transverse wakefields using the maximum radius of the proton bunch distribution measured on a screen downstream from the plasma. We study longitudinal wakefields by externally injecting electrons and measuring their final energy. Measurements agree with trends predicted by theory and numerical simulations and validate our understanding of the development of self-modulation. Experiments were performed in the context of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE).The Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications

A test facility for the international linear collider at SLAC end station a for prototypes of beam delivery and IR components
Proceedings of NANOBEAM 2005, 36th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop (2020) 271-274
Abstract:
The SLAC Linac can deliver damped bunches with ILC parameters for bunch charge and bunch length to End Station A. A 10Hz beam at 28.5 GeV energy can be delivered there, parasitic with PEP-II operation. We plan to use this facility to test prototype components of the Beam Delivery System and Interaction Region. We discuss our plans for this ILC Test Facility and preparations for carrying out experiments related to collimator wakefields and energy spectrometers. We also plan an interaction region mockup to investigate effects from backgrounds and beam-induced electromagnetic interference[1].Prototyping and beam tests of beam-feedback hardware for ILC collision optimisation
