Abstract
We describe a novel plasma source developed at the Max Planck Institute for Physics that will be used for a proton driven plasma wakefield accelerator experiment at CERN. Rubidium vapor is confined in a 10meter -long, 4cm diameter, oil-heated stainless steel pipe. A laser pulse tunnel ionizes the vapor forming a 10-meter long, ~1mm radius plasma with a range of densities around ~1015cm−3. Access to the source is provided using custom manufactured fast valves. The source is designed to produce a plasma with a density uniformity of at least ~0.2% during the beam–plasma interaction.
