Description

Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) has attracted great interest due to its large accelerating gradient, i.e. orders of magnitude higher than that in conventional accelerators. The purpose-built FEBE (Full Energy Beam Exploitation) beamline at CLARA facility at Daresbury lab will provide ultra-bright electron beams which enable us to exploit a wide range of PWFA experiments. In this talk, we will present the latest simulation results for the proposed PWFA experiments including the CLARA beam energy doubling, plasma beam dump and the betatron x-ray source.
