• Laser-driven particle and photon beams and some applications (2010, methodology): “Driven by a 42 GeV electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (Blumenfeld et al 2007), the resulting final energy is ∼85 GeV.”
• Higgs Boson studies at future particle colliders (2019, background): “Much higher gradients (up to 1000 times more acceleration compared to RF) can be achieved using plasma-wakefield acceleration, where laser pulses [114–117], electron [118, 119] or proton [120] bunches (called drivers) can excite ultra-high fields in plasma devices.”
• GeV-scale electron acceleration in a gas-filled capillary discharge waveguide (2007, background): “Figure 3(b) shows an alternative arrangement for beam-pointing correction in which the electron bunch position and propagation vector at the entrance of the spectrometer is deduced from the image of the dispersed electron beam recorded on two screens located after the dipole magnets [42, 43].”
• Proton-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration (2008, background): “In this paper, we discuss the possibility of proton-bunch driven plasma wakefield acceleration, and show that high energy electron beams could potentially be produced in a single accelerating stage.”
• Diagnostics for plasma-based electron accelerators (2018, background): “However, electron (Blumenfeld et al., 2007; Litos et al., 2014) and positron (Corde et al., 2015) drivers produce different wake structures, a distinction that does not arise with LWFAs.”
