It has recently been proposed to use a dispersionless translating section (dogleg) with sextupole correction magnets as a bunch compressor to create longitudinally shaped (linearly ramped) electron bunches. We discuss the experiment soon to be underway at the UCLA Neptune Linear Accelerator Laboratory to test this technique with the 300 pC, 13 MeV electron bunches produced by the Neptune S -Band photoinjector. The experiment will utilize a dipole-mode deflecting cavity, as a temporal diagnostic, and a final focus system of permanent magnet quadrupoles with field gradients of 110 T/m. We also discuss the potential scaling of this technique to bunches of high (i.e. >1nC) charge for the purpose of creating a suitable drive beam for the plasma wakefield accelerator, operating in the blowout regime.

We present a high-performance coupled electrodynamics–micromagnetics solver for full physical modeling of signals in microelectronic circuitry. The overall strategy couples a finite-difference time-domain approach for Maxwell’s equations to a magnetization model described by the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. The algorithm is implemented in the Exascale Computing Project software framework, AMReX, which provides effective scalability on manycore and GPU-based supercomputing architectures. Furthermore, the code leverages ongoing developments of the Exascale Application Code, WarpX, which is primarily being developed for plasma wakefield accelerator modeling. Our temporal coupling scheme provides second-order accuracy in space and time by combining the integration steps for the magnetic field and magnetization into an iterative sub-step that includes a trapezoidal temporal discretization for the magnetization. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by the excellent scaling results on NERSC multicore and GPU systems, with a significant (59×) speedup on the GPU using a node-by-node comparison. We demonstrate the utility of our code by performing simulations of an electromagnetic waveguide and a magnetically tunable filter.

We present a conceptual design for a hybrid laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerator (LWFA) to beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). In this set-up, the output beams from an LWFA stage are used as input beams of a new PWFA stage. In the PWFA stage, a new witness beam of largely increased quality can be produced and accelerated to higher energies. The feasibility and the potential of this concept is shown through exemplary particle-in-cell simulations. In addition, preliminary simulation results for a proof-of-concept experiment in Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany) are shown. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Directions in particle beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration’.
