A long, narrow, relativistic charged particle bunch propagating in plasma is subject to the self-modulation (SM) instability. We show that SM of a proton bunch can be seeded by the wakefields driven by a preceding electron bunch. SM timing reproducibility and control are at the level of a small fraction of the modulation period. With this seeding method, we independently control the amplitude of the seed wakefields with the charge of the electron bunch and the growth rate of SM with the charge of the proton bunch. Seeding leads to larger growth of the wakefields than in the instability case.

Numerical simulations of electron acceleration driven by heavy ion beams in plasma with alternating density gradients
An alternating density gradient profile keeps the witness electron bunch in the accelerating phase of a heavy-ion-driven plasma wakefield, reaching about 1.2 GeV over one meter in simulation.

Numerical investigations of heavy ion driven plasma wakefield acceleration
Heavy-ion beams, especially a 0.1 mm bismuth bunch at HIAF-like parameters, can excite multi-GV/m plasma wakefields and accelerate electrons to hundreds of MeV in meter-scale plasmas, according to LCODE simulations.
