A novel plasma-wakefield accelerator achieved over 2.7 GeV particle acceleration in a compact 10 cm module. This breakthrough in particle acceleration utilizes a dense lithium plasma to drive powerful accelerating wakes.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Particle Acceleration
  • Accelerator Physics

Background:

  • Plasma-wakefield acceleration is a promising technique for compact particle accelerators.
  • Achieving high accelerating gradients is crucial for advancing accelerator technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate significant particle acceleration using a plasma-wakefield accelerator.
  • To investigate the use of a dense lithium plasma as the accelerating medium.

Main Methods:

  • A highly compressed 28.5 GeV electron beam was injected into a 10 cm lithium vapor column.
  • The electron beam ionized the lithium to create a plasma, generating a plasma wake.
  • Particles in the rear of the bunch were accelerated by the plasma wake.

Main Results:

  • Particle acceleration exceeding 2.7 GeV was achieved within the 10 cm plasma module.
  • The electron beam was compressed to 20 microm longitudinally and 10 microm transversely.
  • A plasma density of 2.8 x 10^17 atoms/cm^3 was used.

Conclusions:

  • Plasma-wakefield acceleration in a dense lithium plasma can achieve high energy gains over short distances.
  • This method shows potential for developing more compact and powerful particle accelerators.
