Abstract:The long proton beams present at CERN have the potential to evolve into a train of microbunches through the self-modulation instability process. The resonant wakefield generated by a periodic train of proton microbunches can establish a high acceleration field within the plasma, facilitating electron acceleration. This paper investigates the impact of plasma density on resonant wakefield excitation, thus influencing the acceleration of a witness electron bunch and its corresponding betatron radiation within th… Show more
