Scheme for proton-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration of positively charged particles in a hollow plasma channel

A new scheme for accelerating positively charged particles in a plasma-wakefield accelerator is proposed. If the proton drive beam propagates in a hollow plasma channel, and the beam radius is of order of the channel width, the space charge force of the driver causes charge separation at the channel...
