      abstract     = {Plasma accelerators driven by intense laser or particle
                      beams provide gigavolt-per-meter accelerating fields,
                      promising to drastically shrink particle accelerators for
                      high-energy physics and photon science. Applications such as
                      linear colliders and free-electron lasers (FELs) require
                      high energy and energy efficiency, but also high stability
                      and beam quality. The latter includes low energy spread,
                      which can be achieved by precise beam loading of the plasma
                      wakefield using longitudinally shaped bunches, resulting in
                      efficient and uniform acceleration. However, the plasma
                      wavelength, which sets the scale for the region of very
                      large accelerating fields to be 100 µm or smaller, requires
                      bunches to be synchronized and shaped with extreme temporal
                      precision, typically on the femtosecond scale. Here, a
                      self-correction mechanism is introduced, greatly reducing
                      the susceptibility to jitter. Using multiple accelerating
                      stages, each with a small bunch compression between them,
                      almost any initial bunch, regardless of current profile or
                      injection phase, will self-correct into the current profile
                      that flattens the wakefield, damping the relative energy
                      spread and any energy offsets. As a consequence, staging can
                      be used not only to reach high energies, but also to produce
                      the exquisite beam quality and stability required for a
                      variety of applications.},
