/ Stollberg, C (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Guittienne, Ph (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Karimov, R (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Sublet, A (CERN) ; Furno, I (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Vincent, B (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Andrebe, Y (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Buttenschön, B (Greifswald, Max Planck Inst.)
We present the first results of electron density and temperature measurements obtained from Thomson scattering at the helicon plasma source (HPS) for the AWAKE project. These measurements are compared to simulation results from a 1D power and particle balance model (PPM), confirming that the plasma can be fully sustained by collisional power dissipation. [...]

/ATF2 Collaboration
The ATF2-3 beamline is the only facility in the world for testing the Final Focus Beamline of linear colliders and is essential for the ILC and the CLIC projects. A vertical electron beam size of 41 nm (within 10% of the target), a closed-loop intra-bunch feedback of latency 133 ns, and direct stabilization of the beam position at the Interaction Point to 41 nm (limited by IP BPM resolution) have all been achieved at ATF2.

Bunch-by-bunch Tune Shift Studies for LHC-type Beams in the CERN SPS
/ Mases Solé, Ingrid (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN)
After the implementation of major upgrades as part of the LHC Injector Upgrade Project (LIU), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) delivers high intensity bunch trains with 25 ns bunch spacing to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These beams are exposed to several collective effects in the SPS, such as beam coupling impedance, space charge and electron cloud, leading to relatively large bunch-by-bunch coherent and incoherent tune shifts. [...]

Injection of a LWFA Electron Bunch in a PWFA Driven by a Self-modulated-proton-bunch
/ Muggli, Patric (Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Amorim, Ligia (Lisbon, IST) ; Karsch, Stefan (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) ; Lopes, Nelson (Lisbon, IST) ; Vieira, Jorge (Lisbon, IST)
The AWAKE experiment recently approved at CERN will study the acceleration of an externally injected electron bunch in a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) driven by a self-modulated proton bunch. We study the possibility of injecting a bunch created by a laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerator (LWFA). [...]

A Python Package to Compute Beam-Induced Heating in Particle Accelerators and Applications
/ Sito, Leonardo (CERN) ; Giordano, Francesco (CERN) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) ; Salvant, Benoit (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN) ; de la Fuente, Elena (CERN)
High-energy particle beams interact electromagnetically with their surroundings when they travel inside an accelerator. These interactions may cause beam-induced heating of the accelerator’s components, which could eventually lead to outgassing, equipment degradation and physical damage. [...]

Driver-witness configuration in CNT array-based acceleration
/ Barbera Ramos, Moises (Valencia U.) ; Bonatto, Alexandre (Rio Grande do Sul U.) ; Bontoiu, Cristian (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; Liverpool U.) ; Xia, Guoxing (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci.

Solid-state plasma wakefield acceleration might be an alternative to accelerate particles with ultra-high accelerating gradients, in the order of TV/m.In addition, due to their thermodynamic properties, 2D carbon-based materials, such as graphene layers and/or carbon nanotubes (CNT) are good candidates to be used as the media to sustain such ultra-high gradients. In particular, due to their cylindrical symmetry, multi-nm-aperture targets, made of CNT bundles or arrays may facilitate particle channelling through the crystalline structure.In this work, a two-bunch, driver-and-witness configuration is proposed to demonstrate the potential to achieve particle acceleration as the bunches propagate along a CNT-array structure.Particle-in-cell simulations have been performed using the VSIM code in a 2D Cartesian geometry to study the acceleration of the second (witness) bunch caused by the wakefield driven by the first (driver) bunch.The effective plasma-density approach was adopted to estimate the wakefield wavelength, which was used to identify the ideal separation between the two bunches, aiming to optimize the witness-bunch acceleration and focusing.Simulation results show the high acceleration gradient obtained, and the energy transfer from the driver to the witness bunch..
