Preservation of beam emittance in the presence of ion motion in future high-energy plasma-wakefield-based colliders.
Abstract
The preservation of beam quality in a plasma wakefield accelerator driven by ultrahigh
intensity and ultralow emittance beams, characteristic of future particle colliders,
is a challenge. The electric field of these beams leads to plasma ions motion, resulting
in a nonlinear focusing force and emittance growth of the beam. We propose to use
an adiabatic matching section consisting of a short plasma section with a decreasing
ion mass to allow for the beam to remain matched to the focusing force. We use analytical
models and numerical simulations to show that the emittance growth can be significantly
reduced.
