Laser wakefield acceleration is a widely studied method for accelerating charged particle bunches, with selfinjection being a key feature. However, as the bunch accelerates beyond the driver velocity, it shifts out of the maximal…
A luminosity of a circular collider can be increased by squeezing the bunch length at the interaction point (IP). A natural way to decrease the bunch length is to decrease the momentum compaction factor and/or to increase the RF voltage.…
