Positron beam extraction from an electron-beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator

The extraction of accelerated positrons from the electron-beam-driven nonlinear plasma wakefield is investigated. If the trailing positron beam traverses a plasma density down-ramp at the exit of the plasma, it can become ring-shaped due to the defocusing force of the elongating wake bubble produced...
