  1. 153. Challenges in Modeling Beam Driven Plasma Accelerators
    Dr Jorge Vieira (Instituto Superior Tecnico)

    WG6 theory - Theory and simulations
    talk
    Particle-in-cell simulations play an important role in advancing the knowledge of laser (LWFA) and plasma (PWFA) wakefield accelerators. However, full-scale simulations in the conditions of near future experiments are very computationally intensive. Accurately modeling these scenarios therefore requires state-of-the-art numerical codes combined with novel algorithms capable to capture key...

  2. 66. New Algorithms for Cylindrical PIC Code - Application to Wakefield Accelerators
    Dr Xavier Davoine (CEA DAM DIF)

    WG6 theory - Theory and simulations
    talk
    Cylindrical coordinates are often used to simulate PWFA or LWFA with PIC codes, as it is much faster than using a 3D cartesian mesh while it gives similar results, thanks to the axial symmetry of the wakefield. We describe here recent advances in numerical algorithms for such PIC codes using cylindrical coordinates. First, we define new splines for macro-particles interpolation on the mesh....

    WG6 theory - Theory and simulations
    talk
    Because of their ultra-high accelerating gradient, laser plasma based accelerators are contemplated for the next generation of high energy colliders and light sources. The upcoming BELLA project will explore acceleration of electron bunches to 10 GeV in a meter long plasma, with a PW-class laser driven wakefield. Simulations of such stages are challenging because of the disparity of...

  4. 85. Numerical Investigation of Bunch-Driven PWFA in Quasi-Nolinear Regime
    Dr Pasquale Londrillo (INFN-Bologna (Italy))

    WG6 theory - Theory and simulations
    talk
    In the framework of Plasma Based Wakefield Acceleration (PBFA), a new acceleration scheme has been proposed to combine high efficient blow-out regimes, where the driving electron bunch forms a totally rarefied plasma channel, with the conditions assuring resonant excitation of a plasma waves at the linear frequency. This optimal configuration can be achieved by using a train of properly...
