Emittance and Current of Electrons Trapped in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Abstract
In recent experiments plasma electrons became trapped in a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). The transverse size of these trapped electrons on a downstream diagnostic yields an upper limit measurement of transverse normalized emittance divided by peak current, ∊N,x/I. The lowest upper limit for ∊N,x/I measured in the experiment is 1.3⋅10-10 m/A.
