abstract = {{To overcome limits on total acceleration achievable in plasma wakefield accelerators, specially shaped drive beams can be used to increase the transformer ratio, implying that the drive beam deceleration is minimized in comparison with acceleration obtained in the wake. We report the results of a nonlinear PWFA, high transformer ratio experiment using high-charge, longitudinally asymmetric drive beams in a plasma cell. An emittance exchange process is used to generate variable drive current profiles, in conjunction with a long (multiple plasma wavelength) witness beam. The witness beam is energy-modulated by the wakefield, yielding a response that contains detailed spectral information in a single-shot measurement. Using these methods, we generate a variety of beam profiles and characterize the wakefields, directly observing beam-loaded transformer ratios up to 7.8. Further, a spectrally-based current reconstruction technique, validated by 3D particle-in-cell simulations, is introduced to obtain the drive beam profile from the decelerating wakefield data.}},
