Funding: This work is supported by the Research Council of Norway and U.S. Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC02-76SF00515. A novel design of a 500 GeV c.m. beam-driven PWFA linear collider with effective accelerating gradient on the order of 1 GV/m and extendable in the multi-TeV energy range is presented. The main bunches collide in CW mode at several kHz repetition frequency. They are accelerated and focused with several GV/m fields generated in plasma cells by drive bunches with very good transfer efficiency. The drive bunches are themselves accelerated by a CW superconducting rf recirculating linac. We consider the overall optimizations for the proposed design, compare the efficiency with similar collider designs like ILC and CLIC and we outline the major R&D challenges. |
