Acceleration of Charged Particles by Strong Longitudinal Plasma Wake Fields Excited by Electron Bunches

摘要

The possibility of the use of longitudinal field excited in a plasma by electron bunches to accelerate charged particles is investigated. It is shown that the highets value of accelerating fields proportional to the square root of factor of electrons in the bunch is achieved in the case when bunch particle density approaches a limit equal to the half of the the plasma electron equilibrium density. 13 references.
