Plasma recovery at wakefield accelerators

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on the challenges of maintaining ionized plasma in wakefield accelerators without additional heating. Key points include the potential for magnetic confinement to sustain ionization and the implications of using solid windows for beam passage, which may lead to damage and secondary radiation. Participants explore methods to prevent plasma escape and the feasibility of quickly recovering and refilling ionized gas within the accelerator environment.

Is it possible to keep the plasma ionized almost indefinitely. No additional heating is required.

How to prevent the plasma in the plasma wakefield accelerator from escaping? If it is magnetic confinement, it is not always necessary to supply the gas to keep it ionized, and will the gas that is not ionized still escape. If it is a solid window, won't the beam passing through the window cause damage and secondary radiation? Or is there any way to quickly recover and fill the ionized gas.
