Title Seeded Self-Modulation of Transversely Asymmetric Long Proton Beams in Plasma
Contributors
Abstract The AWAKE experiment at CERN recently demonstrated the world's first acceleration of electrons in a proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerator. Such accelerators show great promise for a new generation of linear e-p colliders using ~1-10 GV/m accelerating fields. Effectively driving a wakefield requires 100-fold self-modulation of the 12 cm Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) proton beam using a plasma-driven process which must be carefully controlled to saturation. Previous works have modelled this process assuming azimuthal symmetry of the transverse spatial and momentum profiles. In this work, 3D particlein-cell simulations are used to model the self-modulation of such non-round beams. Implications of such effects for efficiently sustaining resonant wakefields are examined.
