Abstract
In blowout regime of wakefield excitation, strong chaotization of wake occurs. However, for electron-positron colliders and X-ray microscopes, a weakly nonlinear regime is proposed with the formation of a regular short chain of bubbles. To increase the efficiency of the wakefield accelerator, it is necessary that not separate bunches participate. In this paper in 2D plane geometry, the dependence of the number of formed bubbles and their regularization on the degree of wake non-linearity and parameters: driver current, ion mobility, transverse plasma size and profile is studied. We will show that in a weakly nonlinear regime the regular chain of bubbles becomes longer.
