Here we discuss the possibility of employment of ultrarelativistic electron and proton bunches for generation of high plasma wakefields in dense plasmas due to the Cherenkov resonance plasma-bunch interaction. We estimate the maximum amplitude of such a wake and minimum system length at which the maximum amplitude can be generated at the given bunch parameters.

Surface waves on the boundary of a conducting medium and their excitation by a relativistic electron beam
Excitation of surface waves by a relativistic electron beam propagating over a conducting cylindrical medium (metal or highly ionized plasma) is investigated theoretically. Dispersion relations…

Self-modulation instability of a long proton bunch in plasmas.
TLDR
It is shown that the self-modulation of the proton bunch competes with the hosing instability which tends to destroy the plasma wave, and a method is proposed and studied through PIC simulations to circumvent this problem, which relies on the seeding of theSelf-Modulation instability in the bunch.
Focus on Laser- and Beam-Driven Plasma Accelerators
The ability of short but intense laser pulses to generate high-energy electrons and ions from gaseous and solid targets has been well known since the early days of the laser fusion program. However,…
Acceleration of electrons by the interaction of a bunched electron beam with a plasma.
TLDR
It is shown that energy gradients can exceed 1 GeV/m and that the driven electrons can be accelerated from 0.0 m 0 c 2 to 3 m 2 before the driving beam slows down enough to degrade the plasma wave.

Energy doubling of 42 GeV electrons in a metre-scale plasma wakefield accelerator
TLDR
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.
