Dynamic effects in plasma wakefield excitation

We have used 2D cylindrically symmetric particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the dynamics of a high energy electron beam propagating through an underdense plasma. The simulation parameters are relevant to a recent plasma wakefield experiment conducted at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center...
