Optimization of positron trapping and acceleration in an electron-beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator

Positron trapping and acceleration in a plasma wake using a four-bunch scheme [X. Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 124801 (2008)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.101.124801] is numerically investigated through 2D particle-in-cell simulations. This scheme that integrates positron generation, trapp...
