Natural noise and external wakefield seeding in a proton-driven plasma accelerator
An accurate description of noise levels is of crucial importance for the correct simulation of instability-driven processes, such as the density modulation of a long proton bunch traversing a plasma. To insure that the correct instability develops, a seed field must be larger than the cumulative sho...
