Positron transport and acceleration in beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerators using plasma columns

A finite radius plasma is proposed to generate wakefields that can focus and accelerate positron beams in a plasma wakefield accelerator. The finite radius plasma reduces the restoring force acting on the plasma electrons forming the plasma wakefield, resulting in an elongation of the on-axis return...
