/ Budker, Dmitry (Mainz U. ; Helmholtz Inst., Mainz) ; Berengut, Julian C. (New South Wales U. ; Heidelberg, Max Planck Inst.) ; Flambaum, Victor V. (New South Wales U. ; Mainz U. ; Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Massey U., NZIAS) ; Gorchtein, Mikhail (Mainz U.) ; Jin, Junlan (USTC, Hefei) ; Karbstein, Felix (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Jena U.) ; Krasny, Mieczyslaw Witold (Paris U., VI-VII ; CERN) ; Litvinov, Yuri A. (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Pálffy, Adriana (Erlangen - Nuremberg U., Theorie III) ; Pascalutsa, Vladimir (Mainz U.) et al.
The Gamma Factory (GF) is an ambitious proposal, currently explored within the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders program, for a source of photons with energies up to $\approx 400\,$MeV and photon fluxes (up to $\approx 10^{17}$ photons per second) exceeding those of the currently available gamma sources by orders of magnitude. The high-energy (secondary) photons are produced via resonant scattering of the primary laser photons by highly relativistic partially-stripped ions circulating in the accelerator. [...]

The Gamma Factory (GF) initiative proposes to use partially stripped ion (PSI) beams as drivers of a new type of high-intensity and high-energy (0.1–400 MeV) photon source. As part of the ongoing Physics Beyond Collider studies, initial beam tests were carried out in 2017 and 2018 at the SPS and LHC with partially stripped xenon and lead beams [...]

Atomic physics studies at the Gamma Factory at CERN

The Gamma Factory initiative proposes to develop novel research tools at CERN by producing, accelerating and storing highly relativistic, partially stripped ion beams in the SPS and LHC storage rings. By exciting the electronic degrees of freedom of the stored ions with lasers, high-energy narrow-band photon beams will be produced by properly collimating the secondary radiation that is peaked in the direction of ions' propagation.

Gamma Factory at CERN: Design of a proof-of-principle experiment

The Gamma Factory (GF) initiative proposes to create novel research tools at CERN by producing, accelerating and storing highly relativistic partially stripped ion beams in the LHC rings and by exciting their atomic degrees of freedom by lasers, to produce high-energy photon beams. Their intensity would be several orders of magnitude higher than those of the presently operating light sources in the particularly interesting gamma-ray energy domain reaching up to 400 MeV. [...]

Calibration of the AWAKE electron spectrometer with electrons derived from a partially stripped ion beam

The electron spectrometer for the Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) experiment at CERN has been tested using an electron beam derived from partially-stripped ions accelerated in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The remaining electrons are stripped by passage of the beam through a thin screen upstream from the spectrometer, and using knowledge of the ion beam charge and energy, models of the spectrometer response could be verified..

AWAKE++: The AWAKE Acceleration Scheme for New Particle Physics Experiments at CERN
/ NA64 collaboration
The AWAKE experiment reached all planned milestones during Run 1 (2016-18), notably the demonstration of strong plasma wakes generated by proton beams and the acceleration of externally injected electrons to multi-GeV energy levels in the proton driven plasma wakefields. During Run~2 (2021 - 2024) AWAKE aims to demonstrate the scalability and the acceleration of electrons to high energies while maintaining the beam quality. [...]

Particle physics applications of the AWAKE acceleration scheme

The AWAKE experiment had a very successful Run 1 (2016-8), demonstrating proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for the first time, through the observation of the modulation of a long proton bunch into micro-bunches and the acceleration of electrons up to 2 GeV in 10 m of plasma. The aims of AWAKE Run 2 (2021-4) are to have high-charge bunches of electrons accelerated to high energy, about 10 GeV, maintaining beam quality through the plasma and showing that the process is scalable.

A Rubidium Vapor Source for a Plasma Source for AWAKE
/ Plyushchev, Gennady (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Kersevan, Roberto (CERN) ; Petrenko, Alexey (CERN) ; Muggli, Patric (CERN ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.)
We present the scheme for a rubidium vapor source that is used as a plasma source in the AWAKE plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. The plasma wakefield acceleration process requires a number of stringent parameters for the plasma: electron density adjustable in the (1-10)$\times$10$^{14}$cm$^{-3}$ range, 0.25% relative density uniformity, sharp ($<$10cm) density ramps at each end, density gradient adjustable from -3 to +10% over 10m, and %-level density step near the beginning the plasma column.
