Interaction of ultrarelativistic electron and proton bunches with dense plasmas

A. A. Rukhadze, S. P. Sadykova

Abstract

Here we discuss the possibility of employment of ultrarelativistic monoenergetic electron and proton bunches for generation of high plasma wakefields in dense plasmas due to Cherenkov resonance plasma-bunch interaction. We estimate the maximum amplitude of such a wakefield and minimum plasma, bunch lengths at which the maximum amplitude can be generated at the given plasma and bunch parameters.
