Plasma wake field acceleration: A proposed experimental test

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706

Description

The prospect of achieving very high accelerating fields has led to proposals for using electrostatic plasma waves to accelerate charged particles for high energy physics. It has been predicted theoretically that these plasma waves can be driven by the wake fields of short bunches, or trains of bunches, of charged particles, to accelerate a subsequent bunch; the longitudinal electric fields possible could be of the order of a few GV/m. This note presents an outline of a proposed experimental test of this principle
