    The presentation will discuss physics questions associated with a novel type of lepton collider, which exploits strong-field quantum effects [i]. In particular, the proposed collider mitigates beamstrahlung energy losses by utilizing highly compressed lepton bunches, which are shorter than the average photon emission length. It is therefore fundamentally different from existing designs for...

    A new multi-stage concept for plasma-based accelerators which could achieve unprecedented performance in terms of energy spread has recently been proposed. This concept considers splitting the acceleration process into two identical plasma stages joined by a magnetic chicane in which the beam chirp is inverted. So far, this concept has been explored in the context of the EuPRAXIA project for...

    The attainable transformer ratio in plasma accelerators is limited by instabilities. Using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we demonstrate that these can be controlled using a hollow plasma channel with a coaxial plasma filament. The driver scatters electrons from the filament, and the slow pinch of the ions leads to a strong chirp of the effective betatron frequency, preventing...

    The transport and acceleration of positron beams is a crucial challenge on the path towards plasma-based particle colliders. We propose a scheme that allows for the simultaneous acceleration and transport of positron beams in plasma wakefield accelerators. A finite-radius plasma column is employed, leading to a reduction of the restoring force acting upon the plasma electrons forming the...
