Mechanisms for the mitigation of the hose instability in plasma-wakefield accelerators

In this work we provide an in-depth analysis of mechanisms which mitigate the hose instability in the blowout regime in plasma-wakefield accelerators. We show by means of theory and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that the mitigation mechanisms related to a beam energy spread are effe...
