Plasma-based accelerators that impart energy gain as high as several GeV to electrons or
positrons within a few centimeters have engendered a new class of diagnostic techniques …

High-energy particle accelerators have been crucial in providing a deeper understanding of
fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. To increase the energy of …

We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-
modulation of a long, relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The …

Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle
accelerators. The use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been …

We measure the effects of transverse wakefields driven by a relativistic proton bunch in
plasma with densities of 2.1× 10 14 and 7.7× 10 14 electrons/cm 3. We show that these …

AWAKE is a proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. We show that the
experimental setup briefly described here is ready for systematic study of the seeded self …

LCODE is a freely distributed quasistatic 2D3V code for simulating plasma wakefield
acceleration, mainly specialized at resource-efficient studies of long-term propagation of …

We present the first demonstration of high-power, reversed-Cherenkov wakefield radiation
by electron bunches passing through a metamaterial structure. The structure supports a …

We present the scheme for a rubidium vapor source that is used as a plasma source in the
AWAKE plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. The plasma wakefield acceleration …
