Energy reach e- e+ Luminosity source main linac beam delivery Multi-TeV Linear Colliders challenges • Limitation by practicalities: • Wall plug power: mitigation power to beam transfer efficiency • Wall plug power <300MW @ 3TeV, • L0.01 = 2.1034 20 MW/beam • Cost : mitigation by high accelerating gradient • Total extension < 10km @ 3TeV • Each linac < 2.5 km Wall plug to beam efficiency > 13% Effective Accelerating Gradient ~ 1 GV/m
Gradient and efficiency in Linear Colliders Beam-driven Plasma Wake-Field Accelerator (PWFA)
Plasma Acceleration(Beam-driven or Laser-driven) Laser pulse or Witness bunch >10GV/m Extremely strong focusing: Bf=2pehpr > MT/m Drive bunch Excellent power transfer efficiency: hdrive to plasma ~ 76%, hplasma to main ~ 66% hdrive to main > 50%
FACET facility at SLAC Simulation of 25GeV PWFA stage
E. Adli @ IPAC'12 >10 GVm fields achieved in FACET at SLAC(First experimental run (April-June 2012) • 28 cm plasma cell with fractions of beam • decelerated (left) by up to 4 GeV. • accelerated (right) by up to 5 GeV, • corresponding to a gradient > 10 GV/m. By varying the imaging energy of the imaging quads we can focus onto the different energy particles. This confirms that the tails observed are actually deceleration and acceleration :

Novel concept of a beam driven PWFA Linear Collider : A 2.5km HIGGS Factory (250m acceleration)
Beam parameters and luminosity similar to ILC but in a single bunch operation mode with flexible time interval • CW mode at high repetition frequency and large interval/bunches: • 12.5kHz repetition frequency (80ms) • One main bunch accelerated by one drive bunch per stage (25 GeV) • Drive beam accelerated to 25 GeV by 2*3.6 SC CW recirculating linac (a la CEBAF) • excellent efficiency (40%) and reasonable cryogenics (16MW) • Reduced dimensions due to high plasma acceleration gradients: • 7.6 GV/m with 13% filling factor thus effective accelerating field of 1 GV/m • Excellent efficiency • Beam acceleration: 20% • Overall wall-plug to beam: 9%@ 250GeV to 15%@ 3TeV • Upgradable over large energy range from HIGGS factory to 3 TeV
Pulsed mode Drive linac feasibility? Similar bunch structure and beam parameters as the ILC
An alternative ILC upgrade by PWFAfrom 250GeV to 1 TeVand beyond? 400m ILC TeV upgrade One possible scenario could be: 1) Build & operate the ILC as presently proposed up to 250 GeV (125 GeV/beam): total extension 21km Develop the PFWA technology in the meantime (up to 2025?) When ILC upgrade requested by Physics (say up to 1 TeV), decide for ILC or PWFA technology: 4) Do not extend the ILC tunnel but remove latest 400m of ILC linac (beam energy reduced by 8 GeV) 5) Install a bunch length compressor and 16 plasma cells in latest part of each linac in the same tunnel for a 375+8 GeVPWFA beam acceleration (382m) 6) Reuse the return loop of the ILC main beam as return loop of the PWFA drive beam
Issues and challenges to be addressed by specific R&D • Witness bunch acceleration by separate drive bunch • Beam loading scenarios with low momentum spread • Emittance preservation during acceleration • Drive to main beam power transfer efficiency • Multi-stage acceleration • Alignment tolerances and instabilities (hose, head erosion) • Positron acceleration • Plasma recovery between pulse and heat deposition • Multi-MW Super-conducting linac for drive beam generation and limitation by stored energy (specially in pulsed mode)

Conclusions PWFA a very promising technology: Very high accelerating fields: effective 1 GV/m Excellent power efficiency ( Wall-plug to beam 20%) • Great flexibility of time interval • CW or pulsed mode of operation • An alternative for ILC energy upgrade? • Many challenges still to be addressed; • Beam quality preservation, efficiency, positrons? • Ambitious test facilities: FACET and FACET2 • Feasibility addressed early next decade? • Thanks to excellent and expert collaboration: E200
