Researchers Propose a New Method to Improve Plasma Wakefield Accelerators

Caption

Researchers propose a new method to improve plasma wakefield accelerators by compressing the electron beam. Simulations show two-dimensional electron density distribution for the injector stage (A), compressor stage (B) and accelerator stage (C), where the target e-beam is circled by a dashed circle (in red).
