Abstract
Plasma Wake-Field Acceleration (PWFA) has demonstrated acceleration gradients above 50 GeV/m. Simulations
have shown drive/witness bunch configurations that yield small energy spreads in the accelerated witness bunch and
high energy transfer efficiency from the drive bunch to the witness bunch, ranging from 30% for a Gaussian drive
bunch to 95% for bunch with triangular shaped longitudinal profile. These results open the opportunity for a linear
collider that could be compact, efficient and more cost effective than the present microwave technologies. A concept of
a PWFA-based Linear Collider (PWFA-LC) has been developed by the PWFA collaboration. Here we will describe the
conceptual design and optimization of the drive beam, which includes the drive beam linac and distribution system. We
apply experience of the CLIC drive beam design and demonstration in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) to this study. We
discuss parameter optimization of the drive beam linac structure and evaluate the drive linac efficiency in terms of the
drive beam distribution scheme and the klystron / modulator requirements.
