Description

Beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerators provide accelerating
gradient several orders of magnitude higher than currently available RF technology. When considering staging of multiple plasma accelerator modules to reach TeV energies, inter-plasma components and distances rapidly become
one of the biggest contributors to the total accelerator length and therefore may reduce the average gradient. We would like to suggest and discuss a staging design,that combines gating of the accelerator via a femtosecond ionization lasers with driver-coupling in the temporal domain. Results show that GV/m average gradients are achievable.
