Towards a PWFA linear collider — opportunities and challenges

Abstract: I discuss some key opportunities and challenges of a PWFA collider, and outline some objectives which I consider important to be able to assess the machine performance, assuming that numerous technical challenges can be solved. The highlighted topics are purely the choices of this author. Several other articles in this issue are relevant for a collider design, and discuss challenges for different sub-systems of a collider, including the articles on the beam delivery system [1], drive-beam gener… Show more

“…Another challenge for applying plasma accelerator into the electron-positron collider is that positron cannot be accelerated in bubble since they experienced and defocusing force [11]. the quality of the positron beam would be strongly reduced in the process of high-gradient plasma wake field acceleration for the positron beams, whatever method is used.…”

“…This fact is demonstrated in both experiment and the theory. There have several new regimes of generate positron beam with both highgradient and good quality, but none of them perform overall as good as the blow-out regime [11].…”

“…Therefore, the plasma-based accelerators can greatly reduce the footprint of future accelerators and their associated construction and operation cost. It is envisaged that the plasma-based accelerators will find many applications in providing high quality particle beams for free electron lasers [4][5][6][7] , fixed target experiments and energy frontier colliders [8][9][10][11] .…”

“…It is precisely in cost reduction that PWFA could play a decisive role. The very high gradients attainable promise a significant reduction in the length of the main linear accelerator and hence a concomitant reduction in cost [41]. While there is realistic hope that a particle-physics-oriented PWFA electron accelerator could soon be a reality, no analogous situation currently pertains for a plasma-based positron accelerator.…”
