Energy loss of a high charge bunched electron beam in plasma: Simulations, scaling, and accelerating wakefields

The energy loss and gain of a beam in the nonlinear, “blowout” regime of the plasma wakefield accelerator, which features ultrahigh accelerating fields, linear transverse focusing forces, and nonlinear plasma motion, has been asserted, through previous observations in simulations, to scale linearly...
