Effect of fluctuations in the down ramp plasma source profile on the emittance and current profile of the self-injected beam in a plasma wakefield accelerator

With its extreme beam parameters, the FACET II facility enables the test of the down ramp injection scheme in the laboratory for the beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator approach. In addition to the ideal cases studied in previous theoretical work, we investigate the effect of fluctuations in th...
