Description

The University of Wisconsin Accelerator Physics Group, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, has designed and built an experiment to test the physics of the Plasma Wake-field Accelerator using the ANL Advanced Accelerator Test Facility. The facility provides a very short (6 psec) bunch of electrons at 22 MeV which is used to excite large amplitude longitudinal plasma oscillations in a hollow cathode arc plasma. The plasma wave supported electro-static wake-fields, which can be expected to exceed 100 MeV/m, are probed by a low intensity 15 MeV witness pulse with a variable delay time behind the driving bunch. The energy changes and transverse kicks in both beams are measured by a high resolution, double focusing, broad range magnetic spectrometer. Status of the project is discussed and experimental progress reported
