Plasmas, Dielectrics and the Ultrafast: First Science and Operational Experience at FACET

Description

FACET (Facility for Advanced Accelerator and Experimental Tests) is an accelerator R and D test facility that has been recently constructed at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The facility provides 20 GeV, 3 nC electron beams, short (20 (micro)m) bunches and small (20 (micro)m wide) spot sizes, producing uniquely high power beams. FACET supports studies from many fields but in particular those of Plasma Wakefield Acceleration and Dielectric Wakefield Acceleration. FACET is also a source of THz radiation for material studies. We present the FACET design, initial operating experience and first science from the facility.
