THPD050 | A Proposed Experiment on the Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration | 4392 |
|
||
Proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration holds promise to accelerate a bunch of electrons to the energy frontier in a single acceleration channel. To verify this novel idea, a demonstration experiment is now being planned. The idea is to use the high energy proton bunches from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, to shoot them into a plasma cell and drive large amplitude of plasma wake. The interactions between the plasma and protons are simulated and the results are presented in this paper. |
