Path to a TeV Collider from present state-of-the-art* Starting point: 42 --> 85 GeV in 1m –Few % of particles Beam load –25-50 GeV in ~ 1m –2nd bunch with 33% of particles –Small energy spread Replicate for positrons Marry to high efficiency driver Stage 20 times * I. Blumenfeld et al., Nature 445, 741 (2007)

CLIC-like PWFA LC Schematic Drive Beam Accelerator 12 usec trains of e- bunches accelerated to ~25 GeV Bunch population ~3 x 10 10, 2 nsec spacing 100 trains / second Main Beam e+ Source:500 nsec trains of e- bunches Bunch population ~1 x 10 10, 2 nsec spacing 100 trains / second DR PWFA Cells: 25 GeV in ~ 1 m, 20 per side ~100 m spacing DR Main Beam e- Source: 500 nsec trains of e- bunches Bunch population ~1 x 10 10, 2 nsec spacing 100 trains / second Beam Delivery System, IR, and Main Beam Extraction / Dump ~2 km ~60 MW drive beam power per side ~20 MW main beam power per side ~120 MW AC power per side ~ 4 km 1TeV CM

Drive Beam Source DC or RF gun Train format: With 3 x Hz: ~2.3 mA average current, ~2 A beam current, similar to beam successfully accelerated in CTF3 Compress bunches to ~30  RMS length SPPS achieved much smaller RMS lengths Accelerate to 25 GeV Fully-loaded NC RF structures, similar to CLIC / CTF 3 Inject into “Drive Beam Superhighway” with pulsed extraction for each PWFA cell Both e+ and e- main beams use e- drive beam See slide notes for additional background 100ns kicker gap mini-train 1 mini-train ns: 250bunches 2ns spacing 12  s train

Drive Beam Superhighway Based on CLIC drive beam scheme –Drive beam propagates opposite direction wrt main beam –Drive mini-train spacing = 2 * PWFA cell spacing i.e, ~600 nsec

Drive Beam Distribution Format options –Mini-trains < 600 nsec NC RF for drive beam Duty cycle very low –Individual bunches > 12 μsec SC RF for drive beam Duty cycle ~100 %

Main Beam Source and Plasma Sections Electron side: DC gun + DR Compress to 10  (achieved in SPPS) 20, +25GeV plasma sections, each 1E17 density, <1.2 meters long Gaussian beams assumed -shaped beam profiles => larger transformer ratio, higher efficiency Final main beam energy spread <5% Positron side: conventional target + DR Positron acceleration in electron beam driven wakes (regular plasma or hollow channel) Will have tighter tolerances than electron side

Matching / Combining / Separating Main and Drive Beams Must preserve bunch lengths Preserve emittance of main beam ~100 μm spacing of main and drive bunches –Time too short for a kicker – need magnetostatic combiner / separator –Need main – drive bunch timing at μm level Different challenges at different energies –High main beam energy: emittance growth from SR –Low main beam energy: separation tricky because of ~equal beam energies Need ~100 m between PWFA cells “First attempt” optics of 500 GeV / beam separator. First bend and first quad separate drive and main beam in x (they have different energies); combiner is same idea in reverse. This optics needs some tuning and ~2 sextupoles. System is isochronous to the level of ~1 μm R 56. Assuming that another ~50 m needed for combiner, each PWFA cell needs ~100 m of optics around it.

R&D Roadmap for a Plasma-based Collider

Summary Recent success is very promising No known show stoppers to extending plasma accelerators to the energy frontier Many questions remain to be addressed for realizing a collider FACET-class facility is needed to address them –Lower energy beam facilities cannot access critical issues in the regime of interest –FACET can address most issues of one stage of a 5-20 stage e-e+ TeV collider

Backup and Extra

Future upgrade or alternative paths PWFA can be an upgrade path of e-e- or  options The following flow corresponds to the afterburner path

Beam delivery NLC style FF with local chromatic correction can be a starting point ~TeV CM required just ~300m Energy acceptance (full) was about 2% – within a factor of two from what is needed for PWFA-LC (further tweaking, L* optimization, etc) Beam delivery length likely be dominated by collimation system (could be km/side) – methods like crystal collimation and nonlinear collimations to be looked at again An early (2000) design of NLC FF L* =2m  y *=0.1mm
