The key element in the Proton-Driven-Plasma-Wake-Field-Accelerator (AWAKE) project is the generation of highly uniform plasma from Rubidium vapor. The standard way to achieve full ionization is to use high power laser which can assure the over-barrier-ionization (OBI) along the 10 meters long active region. The Wigner-team in Budapest is investigating an alternative way of uniform plasma generation. The proposed Resonance Enhanced Multi Photon Ionization (REMPI) scheme probably can be realized by much less laser power. In the following the resonant pre-excitations of the Rb atoms are investigated, theoretically and the status report about the preparatory work on the experiment are presented.

A new experimental platform based on laser-plasma interaction is proposed to explore the fundamental processes of wave coupling at the origin of interplanetary radio emissions. It is applied to the study of electromagnetic (EM) emission at twice the
plasma frequency ($2omega_p$) observed during solar bursts and thought to result from the coalescence of two Langmuir waves (LWs). In the interplanetary medium, the first LW is excited by electron beams, while the second is generated by electrostatic decay of Langmuir waves. In the present experiment, instead of an electron beam, an energetic laser propagating through a plasma excites the primary LW, with characteristics close to those at near-Earth orbit. The EM radiation at $2omega_p$ is observed at different angles. Its intensity, spectral evolution and polarization confirm the LW-coalescence scenario.
Plasma wakefield acceleration is the most promising acceleration technique for compact and cheap accelerators, thanks to the high accelerating gradients achievable. Nevertheless, this approach still suffers of shot-to-shot instabilities, mostly relat
ed to experimental parameters fluctuations. Therefore, the use of single shot diagnostics is needed to properly understand the acceleration mechanism. In this work, we present two diagnostics to probe electron beams from laser-plasma interactions, one relying on Electro Optical Sampling (EOS) for laser-solid matter interactions, the other one based on Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) for single shot measurements of the transverse emittance of plasma accelerated electron beams, both developed at the SPARC_LAB Test Facility.
We propose a new method for analytical self-consistent description of the excitation of a strongly nonlinear wakefield (a bubble) excited by an electron bunch. This method makes it possible to calculate the shape of the bubble and the distribution of
the electric field in it based only on the properties of the driver, without relying on any additional parameters. The analytical results are verified by particle-in-cell simulations and show good correspondence. A complete analytical solution for cylindrical drivers and scaling laws for the properties of the bubble and other plasma accelerator parameters depending on the bunch charge and length are derived.
Ultra-short high-power lasers can deliver extreme light intensities ($ge 10^{20}$ W/cm$^2$ and $leq 30 f$s) and drive large amplitude Surface Plasma Wave (SPW) at over-dense plasma surface. The resulting current of energetic electron has great intere
st for applications, potentially scaling with the laser amplitude, provided the laser-plasma transfer to the accelerated particles mediated by SPW is still efficient at ultra-high intensity. By mean of Particle-in-Cell simulations, we identify the best condition for SPW excitation and show a strong correlation between the optimum Surface Plasma Wave excitation angle and the lasers angle of incidence that optimize the electron acceleration along the plasma surface. We also discuss how plasma density and plasma surface shape can be adjusted in order to push to higher laser intensity the limit of Surface Plasma Wave excitation. Our results open the way to new experiments on forthcoming multi-petawatt laser systems.
Plasma accelerators can sustain very high acceleration gradients. They are promising candidates for future generations of particle accelerators for several scientific, medical and technological applications. Current plasma based acceleration experime
nts operate in the relativistic regime, where the plasma response is strongly non-linear. We outline some of the key properties of wakefield excitation in these regimes. We outline a multidimensional theory for the excitation of plasma wakefields in connection with current experiments. We then use these results and provide design guidelines for the choice of laser and plasma parameters ensuring a stable laser wakefield accelerator that maximizes the quality of the accelerated electrons. We also mention some of the future challenges associated with this technology.
