Advanced Modeling of Plasma-based Particle Accelerators
Abstract
Plasma-based acceleration (PBA) driven by an intense laser (LWFA) or particle beam (PWFA) can produce ultra-high accelerating fields in excess of a GV/cm. PBA could substantially reduce the size and cost of future linear collider facilities if deployed successfully. PBA enables compact tabletop accelerators that can provide lower energy GeV-class beams in a laboratory setting. PBA enables high quality beam generation suitable for x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) via controllable methods of self-injection. Challenges in modeling and optimization of multi-stage PBA motivate the need for exascale computing and state-of-the-art PIC codes.
