Abstract: Plasma wakefield acceleration using an electron filament offers stable, high-gradient, high-quality acceleration of positron beams analogous to the acceleration of electrons in the blowout regime. However, low energy-transfer efficiency is currently a limiting factor for future collider applications. We explore the addition of a secondary electron bunch in the electron filament plasma wakefield acceleration scheme to recover additional energy from the wake. Particle-in-cell simulations using HiPACE++ are used to demonstrate various energy recovery schemes. In addition to confirming the energy efficiency gains with a recovery electron beam, we also develop energy recovery schemes in the context of future plasma colliders.
