| Abstract | Substantial progress has been made over the last several decades using particle beams or high-power lasers, such as the NSF ZEUS facility, to harness waves in plasma to build a new compact type of particle accelerator. Plasma wakefield particle accelerators promise to reduce mile-scale accelerator facilities to the size of a tabletop to provide x-rays for imaging viruses, diagnosing new materials, and for nuclear security applications. The goal of this project is to study the potential for these |
