The recent experimental data of anomalous magnetic moments strongly indicate the existence of new physics beyond the standard model. An energetic $mu^+$ beam is a potential option to the expected neutrino factories, the future muon colliders and the $mu$SR(the spin rotation, resonance and relaxation) technology. It is proposed a prompt acceleration scheme of the $mu^+$ beam in a donut wakefield driven by a shaped Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) laser pulse. The forward part of the donut wakefield can accelerate and also focus positive particle beams effectively. The LG laser is shaped by a near-critical-density plasma. The shaped LG laser has the shorter rise time and can enlarge the acceleration field. The acceleration field driven by a shaped LG laser pulse is six times higher than that driven by a normal LG laser pulse. The simulation results show that the $ mu^+$ bunch can be accelerated from $200mathrm{MeV}$ to 2GeV and the transversal size of the $mu^+$ bunch is also focused from initial $omega_0=5mu m$ to $omega=1mu m$ within several picoseconds.

Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation is used to investigate the witness proton acceleration in underdense plasma with a short intense Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) laser pulse. Driven by the LG10 laser pulse, a special bubble with an electron pilla r on the axis is formed, in which protons can be well-confined by the generated transversal focusing field and accelerated by the longitudinal wakefield. The risk of scattering prior to acceleration with a Gaussian laser pulse in underdense plasma is avoided, and protons are accelerated stably to much higher energy. In simulation, a proton beam has been accelerated to 7 GeV from 1 GeV in underdense tritium plasma driven by a 2.14x1022 W/cm2 LG10 laser pulse.
It is shown that co-linear injection of electrons or positrons into the wakefield of the self-modulating particle beam is possible and ensures high energy gain. The witness beam must co-propagate with the tail part of the driver, since the plasma wav e phase velocity there can exceed the light velocity, which is necessary for efficient acceleration. If the witness beam is many wakefield periods long, then the trapped charge is limited by beam loading effects. The initial trapping is better for positrons, but at the acceleration stage a considerable fraction of positrons is lost from the wave. For efficient trapping of electrons, the plasma boundary must be sharp, with the density transition region shorter than several centimeters. Positrons are not susceptible to the initial plasma density gradient.

In the past decades, beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) experiments have seen remarkable progress by using high-energy particle beams such as electron, positron and proton beams to drive wakes in neutral gas or pre-ionized plasma. This review highlights a few recent experiments in the world to compare experiment parameters and results.

By using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation, we present a new regime of stable proton beam acceleration which takes place when a two-specie shaped foil is illuminated by a circularly polarized laser pulse. It is observed that the lighter p rotons are nearly-instantaneously separated from the heavier carbon ions due to the charge-to-mass ratio difference. The heavy-ions layer extensively expands in space and acts to buffer the proton layer from the Rayleigh-Taylor-like (RT) instability that would have otherwise degraded the proton beam acceleration. A simple three-interface model is formulated to qualitatively explain the stabilization of the light-ions acceleration. Due to the absence of the RT-like instability, the produced high quality mono-energetic proton bunch can be well maintained even after the laser-foil interaction concludes.
We propose a new method for self-injection of high-quality electron bunches in the plasma wakefield structure in the blowout regime utilizing a flying focus produced by a drive-beam with an energy-chirp. In a flying focus the speed of the density cen troid of the drive bunch can be superluminal or subluminal by utilizing the chromatic dependence of the focusing optics. We first derive the focal velocity and the characteristic length of the focal spot in terms of the focal length and an energy chirp. We then demonstrate using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that a wake driven by a superluminally propagating flying focus of an electron beam can generate GeV-level electron bunches with ultra-low normalized slice emittance ($sim$30 nm rad), high current ($sim$ 17 kA), low slice energy-spread ($sim$0.1%) and therefore high normalized brightness ($>10^{19}$ A/rad$^2$/m$^2$) in a plasma of density $sim10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$. The injection process is highly controllable and tunable by changing the focal velocity and shaping the drive beam current. Near-term experiments using the new FACET II beam could potentially produce beams with brightness exceeding $10^{20}$ A/rad$^2$/m$^2$.
