Typically, the ratio of peak beam density to nominal plasma density determines operation in the linear or nonlinear regime. Previous reports have shown that a the cross-over into the nonlinear regime is associated with an increase in the wakefield amplitude, as well as sawtooth-like shape. In this paper, we present preliminary measurements of quasi-nonlinear wakefields driven by a linearly ramped beam, with a maximum charge close to the unperturbed plasma density. We also demonstrate nonlinear wakefield behavior in a probe bunch using a single shot, multi-period wakefield measurement and its dependency on plasma density.}, }
