Abstract

Following the successful Run 1 experiment, the Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) Run2 experiment requires the design and implementation of a compact electron source. The “high-quality Electron Accelerator driven by a Reliable Laser wakefield for Industrial uses” (EARLI) project aims to design a stand-alone high-quality electron injector based on a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) as an alternative proposal to AWAKE’s baseline design of an X-band electron gun. This project is currently in the design phase, including simulations and experimental tests. Exhaustive beam physics studies for conventional accelerators are applied to LWFA physics.
