Mitigation of the onset of hosing in the linear regime through plasma frequency detuning
The hosing instability poses a feasibility risk for plasma-based accelerator concepts. We show that the growth rate for beam hosing in the linear regime (which is relevant for concepts that use a long driver) is a function of the centroid perturbation wavelength. We demonstrate how this property can...

Sumario: | The hosing instability poses a feasibility risk for plasma-based accelerator concepts. We show that the growth rate for beam hosing in the linear regime (which is relevant for concepts that use a long driver) is a function of the centroid perturbation wavelength. We demonstrate how this property can be used to damp centroid oscillations by detuning the plasma response sufficiently early in the development of the instability. We also develop a new theoretical model for the early evolution of hosing. These findings have implications for the general control of an instability's growth rate. |
