| WEPMY025 | iMPACT, Undulator-Based Multi-Bunch Plasma Accelerator | 2609 |

Funding: This work is supported by the Cockcroft Institute Core Grant and STFC. The accelerating gradient measured in laser or electron driven wakefield accelerators can be in the range of 10-100GV/m, which is 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than can be achieved by conventional RF-based particle accelerators. However, the beam quality preservation is still an important problem to be tackled to ensure the practicality of this technology. In this global picture, the main goals of this study are planning and coordinating a physics program, the so-called iMPACT, that addresses issues such as emittance growth mechanisms in the transverse and longitudinal planes through scattering from the plasma particles, minimisation of the energy spread and maximising the energy gain while benchmarking the milestones. In this paper, a summary and planning of the project is introduced and initial multi-bunch simulations were presented. |

| WEPMY027 | Feasibility Study of Plasma Wakefield Acceleration at the CLARA Front End Facility | 2617 |
|

Funding: Cockcroft Institute Core Grant and STFC Plasma wakefield acceleration has been proposed at the CLARA Front End (FE) facility at Daresbury Laboratory. The initial phase of the experiment will acceleration of the tail of a single electron bunch, and the follow-up experiment will study preserving a high quality beam based on a two-bunch acceleration scenario. In this paper, a concept for the initial experiment is outlined and detailed simulation results are presented. |
