Resonant excitation of very high gradient plasma wakefield accelerators by optical-period bunch trains

The use of a periodic electron beam bunch train to resonantly excite plasma wakefields in the quasinonlinear (QNL) regime has distinct advantages over employing a single, higher charge bunch. Resonant QNL excitation can produce plasma electron blowout using a small charge per pulse if the beam emitt...
