Description
We present basic analytical studies on the effects of the local transverse plasma density fluctuations. We show that in the blow-out regime transverse plasma density gradient results in a transverse wakefield. This, in turn, may lead to significant limitations in the machine's performance. We consider the classical round driver in the transverse coordinates and show, that in the blow-out regime transverse plasma inhomogeneity results in the dipole wake that may deflect the driver and in the case of the random density fluctuation may result in the unstable motion. As a remedy, we propose to consider flat driver injection and show, that a flat driver in the blow-out regime can be robust to the perturbation in transverse plasma density.
