Description
The manipulation of particle beams is a cornerstone of modern science. From current colliders to unravel the particle structures to the generation of coherent radiation with free electron laser. All of these applications of particle beams have wildly different parameters. However, the thing they have in common is the need of a good control of beams to transport them to the interaction point while achieving and maintaining the needed characteristics. The use of classical magnetic lattices, while robust, sees few improvements due to their limits in current and magnetic fields imposed by the materials. In recent years, the advantages and possibilities of the use of plasma mediums are being shown all around, causing a surge in plasma optics research for beam transport, correction and manipulation. Experimentally there is still a lack of diagnostics to measure the beam phase-space during the passage through such optics which is crucial as the interaction is highly non-linear and difficult to predict. In this work we delve deeper into the beam 6D phase-space dynamics to gain a deeper insight of the evolution along low-density plasma to get an intuition of what is needed to improve beams, and specially oriented to the longitudinal density modulation optics*. Particle in cell simulations are used to study the beam evolution, down to the tracking of individual particles. All performed with the relativistic reference frame code EPHEMER.
