Description
Laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) and plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) have attracted a wealth of research interests since they can provide an accelerating gradient of ~100 GV/m. Recently, a series of LWFA/PWFA external injection experiments are foreseen to be carried out based on the linear accelerator (LINAC) of Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II (BEPCII). We hereby present a design of the beam transport line from the BEPCII LINAC to the LWFA/PWFA experimental chamber. The constraint of the existing building and beamline of the BEPCII was considered carefully in the design. The performance of the transport line is evaluated using the particle tracking simulations, demonstrating that the bunch length of the electrons with energy of 2 GeV and charge of 2 nC can be compressed from 10 ps to 1 ps (RMS), and the beam spot size is focused from about 850 μm to 116 μm (RMS).
