Description
Plasma-based acceleration is a promising technology for next-generation
particle accelerators, enabling high-gradient acceleration over compact
distances. However, accurate diagnostics are crucial to fully exploit
its potential.
In this talk, we will explore the diagnostics of both particle beams
used to drive plasma acceleration and those accelerated within plasma
structures. We will present practical examples and discuss the key
characteristics required for effective diagnostics in these extreme
conditions.
A particular focus will be given to plasma density measurement, as it
represents a fundamental parameter for the control and optimization of
plasma acceleration experiments.
