@article{Bera20182DFS, title={2-D fluid simulation of a rigid relativistic electron beam driven wakefield in a cold plasma}, author={Ratan Kumar Bera and Amita Das and Sudip Sengupta}, journal={arXiv: Plasma Physics}, year={2018} }
Fluid simulations, which are considerably simpler and faster, have been employed to study the behavior of the wakefield driven by a relativistic rigid beam in a 2-D cold plasma. When the transverse dimensions of the beam are chosen to be much larger than its longitudinal extent, a good agreement with our previous 1-D results [\textcolor{red}{\it Physics of Plasmas 22, 073109 (2015)}] are observed for both under-dense and over-dense beams. When the beam is overdense and its transverse extent is…

It is demonstrated that the injection and subsequent acceleration of electrons can be controlled by using a second laser pulse, and the electron beams obtained are stable and tuneable, and compatible with electron bunch durations shorter than 10 fs.

An energy gain of more than 42 GeV is achieved in a plasma wakefield accelerator of 85 cm length, driven by a 42GeV electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), in excellent agreement with the predictions of three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.
Phase mixing of relativistically intense waves in a cold homogeneous plasma.

Calculations presented here in the weakly relativistic limit clearly show that under very general initial conditions, a relativistically intense wave will always phase mix and eventually break at arbitrarily low amplitudes, in a time scale omegapetaumix.
