Abstract
The question of what beam quality and efficiency are ultimately achiev able in plasma-based accelerators is addressed analytically and throug h self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations. A strategy for phasing and beam loading to minimize energy spread while at the same time ach ieving high energy extraction efficiency is proposed. Preservation of beam emittance is facilitated by the use of a hollow channel. [S0031-9 007(98)07381-5].
