Abstract

We present the status of transverse instability studies in the plasma-wakefield acceleration experiments at FACET. PIC simulations indicate that a head-tail tilt on the electron beam as it enters to the plasma may lead not only to hosing but also a coherent transverse motion of the system beam and plasma bubble. The FACET dump line is equipped with a Cherenkov light based spectrometer which can resolve transverse motion as function of beam energy. We discuss new simulation results and the current status of the experiment.
