Abstract: (APS)
Proton beam driven plasma wakefield acceleration was recently proposed as a way to bring electrons to TeV energy range in a single plasma section. Here we present a detailed numerical analysis of this acceleration scheme. We identify the main effects limiting acceleration efficiency and ultimate energy gain, and formulate optimum conditions for acceleration.- 52.40.Mj
