Description
At the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory we are focusing on probing particle driven wakes on both short (100s of ps) and long (100+ $\mu$s) timescales utilizing the 10 GeV electron beamline at SLAC’s FACET II facility. Plasma shapes on the short timescales have potential applications in future positron accelerators [1] and on long timescales studies into the relaxation time of the accelerator are important for determining maximum repetition rates of these accelerators; we plan to build on the work from Ref. [2] to further explore these limits and compare these results with findings from Ref. [3].
