First Results From the Electron Hose Instability Studies in FACET
Muggli, P.
We present the status of transverse instability studies in the plasma-wakefield acceleration experiments at FACET. PIC simulations indicate that a head-tail tilt on the electron beam as it enters to the plasma may lead not only to hosing but also a coherent transverse motion of the system beam and plasma bubble. The FACET dump line is equipped with a Cherenkov light based spectrometer which can resolve transverse motion as function of beam energy. We discuss new simulation results and the curren...

We discuss new simulation results and the current status of the experiment. Show Partial Abstract
