Abstract
Plasma wakefield acceleration promises compact sources of high-brightness relativistic electron and positron beams. Applications (particle colliders and free-electron lasers) of plasma wakefield accelerators demand low ener-gy spread beams and high-efficiency operation. Achieving both requires plateau formation on both the accelerating field for witness-bunch and the decelerating fields for driver-bunches by controlled beam loading of the plasma wave with careful tailored current profiles. We demonstrate by numerical simulation by 2.5D PIC code LCODE such optimal beam loading in a linear and blowout electron-driven plasma accelerator with RF generated low and high beam charge and high beam quality.
