Helicon wave physics for the development of a helicon plasma cell for particle-driven wakefield accelerators — •Alf Köhn-Seemann1, Luis Herrera1, Oliver Lass2, and Peter Manz2 — 1IGVP, University of Stuttgart, Germany — 2Institute of Physics, University of Greifswald, Germany
Plasma wakefield accelerators provide significantly higher gradients in the electric field to accelerate particles than linear particle accelerators, thereby significantly reducing their overall size. High electric fields require high electron plasma densities. Helicon plasma discharges are known to provide the highest electron densities. In this contribution we will give an overview of our newly started DFG-funded project to understand the helicon wave propagation and dissipation in the plasma based on a joint experimental and numerical approach between the University of Stuttgart and the University of Greifswald.
