Solid-state plasma wakefield acceleration might be an alternative to accelerate particles with ultra-high accelerating gradients, in the order of TV/m.In addition, due to their thermodynamic properties, 2D carbon-based materials, such as graphene layers and/or carbon nanotubes (CNT) are good candidates to be used as the media to sustain such ultra-high gradients. In particular, due to their cylindrical symmetry, multi-nm-aperture targets, made of CNT bundles or arrays may facilitate particle channelling through the crystalline structure.In this work, a two-bunch, driver-and-witness configuration is proposed to demonstrate the potential to achieve particle acceleration as the bunches propagate along a CNT-array structure.Particle-in-cell simulations have been performed using the VSIM code in a 2D Cartesian geometry to study the acceleration of the second (witness) bunch caused by the wakefield driven by the first (driver) bunch.The effective plasma-density approach was adopted to estimate the wakefield wavelength, which was used to identify the ideal separation between the two bunches, aiming to optimize the witness-bunch acceleration and focusing.Simulation results show the high acceleration gradient obtained, and the energy transfer from the driver to the witness bunch..

Characteristics of betatron radiation in AWAKE Run 2 experiment
/ Liang, Linbo (Manchester U. ; SLAC, SSRL) ; Saberi, Hossein (Manchester U. ; SLAC, SSRL) ; Xia, Guoxing (Manchester U. ; SLAC, SSRL) ; Farmer, John Patrick (CERN ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Pukhov, Alexander (Heinrich Heine U., Dusseldorf)
The oscillating relativistic electrons in the accelerating/focusing wakefields of plasma accelerators emit electromagnetic radiation known as betatron radiation (BR). The proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration has been demonstrated in the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN; however, its accompanying radiation emission is less explored compared with those in the laser- and electron beam-driven plasma accelerators.

Tech.) ; Karataev, Pavel (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Lefèvre, Thibaut (CERN) ; Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) ; Xia, Guoxing (U. Manchester (main) ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
In this paper, a study using the Polarization Current Approach (PCA) model is performed to optimize the design of a short bunch length monitor using two dielectric radiators that produce coherent Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR). The electromagnetic power emitted from each radiator is measuring a different part of the bunch spectrum using Schottky diodes. [...]

Carbon-based nanostructures and metamaterials offer extraordinary mechanical and opto-electrical properties, which make them suitable for applications in diverse fields, including, for example, bioscience, energy technology and quantum computing. In the latest years, important R&D; efforts have been made to investigate the potential use of graphene and carbon-nanotube (CNT) based structures to manipulate and accelerate particle beams. [...]

The AWAKE Run 2 programme and beyond
/ AWAKE Collaboration
Plasma wakefield acceleration is a promising technology to reduce the size of particle accelerators. Use of high energy protons to drive wakefields in plasma has been demonstrated during Run 1 of the AWAKE programme at CERN. [...]

Simulation Study of Electron Beam Acceleration with Non-Gaussian Transverse Profiles for AWAKE Run 2
/ Liang, Linbo (Manchester U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Farmer, John P (Munich, Max Planck Inst. ; CERN) ; Xia, Guoxing (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; Manchester U.)
In the physics plan for AWAKE Run 2, two known effects, beam loading the longitudinal wakefield and beam matching to the pure plasma ion channel, will be implemented for the better control of electron acceleration. It is founded in our study of beam matching that the transverse profile of the initial witness beam have a significant impact on its acceleration quality. [...]

Analytical and Numerical Characterization of Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation as a Longitudinal Electron Bunch Profile Monitor for AWAKE Run 2
/ Davut, Can (Manchester U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Apsimon, Oznur (Liverpool U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Karataev, Pavel (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Lefèvre, Thibaut (CERN) ; Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) ; Xia, Guoxing (Manchester U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
In this paper, CST simulations of the coherent Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation with a range of parameters for different dielectric target materials and geometries are discussed and compared with the theoretical investigation of the Polarization Current Approach to design a prototype of a radiator for the bunch length/profile monitor for AWAKE Run 2. It was found that the result of PCA theory and CST simulation are consistent with each other regarding the shape of the emitted ChDR cone..
