AB  - In plasma-based acceleration, an ultra-relativistic particlebunch—or an intense laser beam—is used to expel electronsfrom its propagation path, forming a wake that is devoidof electrons. The ions, being significantly more massive,are often assumed to be stationary. However, both theoryand simulations suggest that any sufficiently dense electronbunch can trigger ion motion, and its effect must be takeninto account. We simulate beam-driven plasma wakefieldsto identify key features—such as longitudinally dependentemittance growth—that could be observed in an experimentusing plasma and beam parameters from the FLASHForwardfacility at DESY.
