Simulation of proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Simulation of proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Proton beam driven plasma wakefield acceleration was recently proposed as a way to bring electrons to TeV energy range in a single plasma section. Here we present a detailed numerical analysis of this acceleration scheme. We identify the main effects limiting acceleration efficiency and ultimate ene...
