Experimental observation of constructive superposition of wakefields generated by electron bunches in a dielectric-lined waveguide

We report results from an experiment that demonstrates the successful superposition of wakefields excited by 50 MeV bunches which travel ∼50  cm along the axis of a cylindrical waveguide which is lined with alumina. The bunches are prepared by splitting a single laser pulse prior to focusing it onto...
