%T Driver energy depletion - Energy Depletion and Re-Acceleration of Driver Electrons
%M PUBDB-2023-07739
%D 2023
%X For plasma-wakefield accelerators to fulfil their potential for cost effectiveness and reduced envi-ronmental footprint, it is essential that their energy-transfer efficiency be maximized. A key aspectof this efficiency is the near-complete transfer of energy, or depletion, from the driver electrons tothe plasma wake. Achieving full depletion is limited by the process of re-acceleration, which oc-curs when the driver electrons decelerate to non-relativistic energies, slipping backwards into theaccelerating phase of the wakefield and being subsequently re-accelerated. Such re-accelerationis observed here for the first time. At this re-acceleration limit, we measure a beam driver de-positing (56 ± 5)
