Description
Plasma-wakefield acceleration offers a promising path towards a next-generation collider, but poses significant beam-delivery challenges. We present initial designs for final-focusing systems capable of transporting beams from the plasma-based-collider concepts, ALiVE and HALHF, each with distinct beam dynamics constraints. For ALiVE, where the beams are intrinsically round, we demonstrate an increase in L_1%/L_๐ก๐๐ก from 3.6% to 27%, and explore ultra-compact FFS configurations reflecting the potential for significantly reduced collider lengths. For HALHF, where the beams feature large horizontal emittance to alleviate the burden on the plasma linac, we show that a global chromaticity correction scheme reduces aberrations to within 20% of the design beam size at 375 GeV, and identify synchrotron radiation as the dominant limitation at higher energies.
