Publication on density down-ramp injection in a beam driven plasma wakefield accelerator

Alberto Martinez de la Ossa, based at DESY, Hamburg, lead a recent publication describing an impressive theoretical study on high quality electron beam injection in a electron beam driven plasma wakefield (https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.20.091301). This mechanism will be experimentally studied in the FLASHForward project, a unique experiment in the world which aims to drive a free-electron laser from a plasma accelerated electron beam.
