PARS (Plasma Acceleration Research Station) is an electron beam driven plasma wakefield acceleration test stand proposed for VELA/CLARA facility in Daresbury Laboratory. In order to optimise various operational configurations, 2D numerical studies were performed by using VSIM for a range of parameters such as bunch length, radius, plasma density and positioning of the bunches with respect to each other for the two-beam acceleration scheme. In this paper, some of these numerical studies and considered measurement methods are presented.

  Feasibility of a focusing element using the transverse fields provided by a plasma cell was studied numerically. In this paper, an experimental set up is proposed for various beam parameters available from the VELA and CLARA beam lines at Daresbury Laboratory. 2D simulation results from VSim, and expected results from planned measurement stations are presented. Field properties and the advantages and disadvantages of such an instrument compared to conventional focusing elements are discussed.
