Abstract

The SPARCLAB test facility at the LNF (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Rome) holds a high brightness photo-injector used to investigate advanced beam manipulation techniques. High brightness electron bunch trains (so-called comb beams) can be generated striking on the photo-cathode of a Radio Frequency (RF) photo-injector with a ultra-short UV laser pulse train in tandem with the velocity bunching technique. Beam dynamics studies have been performed with the aim of optimizing the dynamics of the double beam (driver and witness) used to perform particle driven plasma wake field acceleration (PWFA). In this scenario different scans on beam parameters were carried on adopting the ASTRA simulation code, in order to optimize the witness beam quality and improve the plasma booster stage performances. A benchmark of the simulations has been then performed, reproducing the experimental data obtained from the optimization of machine performances, and a good agreement was found.
