National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Measurement of the Decelerating Wake in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator.

DE2008938638

Publication Date	2008
Personal Author	Blumenfeld, I.; Clayton, C. E.; Decker, F. J.; Hogan, M. J.; Huang, C.; Ischebeck, R.
Page Count	6
Abstract	Recent experiments at SLAC have shown that high gradient acceleration of electrons is achievable in meter scale plasmas. Results from these experiments show that the wakefield is sensitive to parameters in the electron beam which drives it. In the experiment the bunch lengths were varied systematically at constant charge. The effort to extract a measurement of the decelerating wake from the maximum energy loss of the electron beam is discussed.
