Abstract

The interaction of the witness beam with the surrounding plasma particles and wakefields was studied. The impli- cations of the elastic scattering process on beam emittance and, emittance evolution under the focusing and acceleration provided by plasma wakefields were discussed. Simulations results from GEANT4 are presented in this paper.
