Funding: DoE contract # DE-FG02-92-ER40745 Simulation and analysis of the ion motion and multiple ionization in a plasma wakefield accelerator is presented for the parameters required of a future ILC afterburner. We show that although ion motion leads to substantial emittance growth for extreme parameters of future colliders in the sub-micron spot size regime, several factors that can mitigate the effect are explored. These include sunchrotron damping, plasma density gradient and hot plasma. |
