Using Protons to Accelerate Electrons - the Key is Plasma

Abstract

As protons travel through the plasma, they initiate oscillations of the plasma, creating a wave that can be surfed by trailing electrons. The electrons pick up energy from the plasma wave, and, in this way, can be accelerated to high energies in much shorter distances than with conventional acceleration techniques. The AWAKE experiment at CERN has successfully demonstrated this process. I will discuss the physics of plasma wakefield acceleration with protons, the realization in AWAKE, and the future outlook for using this technology to build energy frontier particle colliders.

Das Kolloquium wird "hybrid" durchgeführt, kann also sowohl im Hörsaal als auch über zoom verfolgt werden.
