MC1.A04 Plasma and wakefield acceleration

Poster Presentation

Nonlinear plasma wakefield excitation by an ultra-relativistic square Gaussian beam is simulated using FBPIC code. The beam interaction with the background plasma electrons revealed blowout cavity formation. As the beam propagates further into the plasma, blowout cavity elongation along the beam propagation direction was observed. The corresponding electromagnetic field components excited...
