Abstract Plasma-based accelerators have achieved tremendous progress in the past few decades, thanks to the advances of high power lasers and the availability of high-energy and relativistic particle beams. However, the electrons (or positrons) accelerated in the plasma…

A laser–plasma accelerator producing monoenergetic electron beams
TLDR
It is demonstrated that this randomization of electrons in phase space can be suppressed and that the quality of the electron beams can be dramatically enhanced.
High-quality electron beams from a laser wakefield accelerator using plasma-channel guiding
TLDR
A laser accelerator that produces electron beams with an energy spread of a few per cent, low emittance and increased energy (more than 109 electrons above 80 MeV) and opens the way for compact and tunable high-brightness sources of electrons and radiation.
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.
A Beam Driven Plasma-Wakefield Linear Collider: From Higgs Factory to Multi-TeV
Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) holds much promise for advancing the energy frontier because it can potentially provide a 1000-fold or more increase in acceleration gradient with excellent power…
Multi-gigaelectronvolt acceleration of positrons in a self-loaded plasma wakefield
TLDR
A new regime of PWFAs where particles in the front of a single positron bunch transfer their energy to a substantial number of those in the rear of the same bunch by exciting a wakefield in the plasma is demonstrated.
Multistage coupling of independent laser-plasma accelerators
TLDR
The results indicate that the fundamental limitation to energy gain presented by laser depletion can be overcome by using staged acceleration, suggesting a way of reaching the electron energies required for collider applications.
High-efficiency acceleration of an electron beam in a plasma wakefield accelerator
TLDR
This acceleration of a distinct bunch of electrons containing a substantial charge and having a small energy spread with both a high accelerating gradient and a high energy-transfer efficiency represents a milestone in the development of plasma wakefield acceleration into a compact and affordable accelerator technology.
Physics of laser-driven plasma-based electron accelerators
Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of 100 GV/m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat wave accelerator,…
GeV electron beams from a centimetre-scale accelerator
Gigaelectron volt (GeV) electron accelerators are essential to synchrotron radiation facilities and free-electron lasers, and as modules for high-energy particle physics. Radiofrequency-based…
Demonstration of a positron beam-driven hollow channel plasma wakefield accelerator
TLDR
A method for creating an extended hollow plasma channel is demonstrated and the wakefields created by an ultrarelativistic positron beam as it propagates through the channel are measured.
