The plasma wakefield amplitudes which could be achieved via the modulation of a long proton bunch are investigated. We find that in the limit of long bunches compared to the plasma wavelength, the strength of the accelerating fields is directly proportional to the number of particles in the drive bunch and inversely proportional to the square of the transverse bunch size. The scaling laws were tested and verified in detailed simulations using parameters of existing proton accelerators, and large electric fields were achieved, reaching 1 GV/m for LHC bunches. Energy gains for test electrons beyond 6 TeV were found in this 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.
