Emittance preservation through density ramp matching sections in a plasma wakefield accelerator

In plasma wakefield acceleration, the witness beam’s emittance needs to be preserved when it propagates through a plasma stage. The plasma includes density ramps at both the entrance and the exit. Using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin solution of a single particle’s motion, analytical expressions for...
