Plasma Accelerators *
In this paper we discuss plasma accelerators which might provide high gradient accelerating fields suitable for TeV linear colliders. In particular we discuss two types of plasma accelerators which have been proposed, the Plasma Beat Wave Accelerator and the Plasma Wake Field Accelerator. We show that the electric fields in the plasma for both schemes are very similar, and thus the dynamics of ...
متن کاملLaser Plasma Accelerators
Particle acceleration by relativistic electron plasma waves generated by intense lasers has been demonstrated in a number of experiments by various mechanisms. Accelerating fields as high as 1 GeV=cm, with electrons accelerated to about 100MeV in millimetre distances have been achieved. These fields produced by intense lasers in plasmas are the largest ever produced in laboratory experiments. T...
متن کاملProgress on Plasma Accelerators
Several plasma accelerator concepts are reviewed, with emphasis on the Plasma Beat Wave Accelerator (PBWA) and the Plasma Wake Field Accelerator (PWFA). Various accelerator physics issues regarding these schemes are discussed, and numerical examples on laboratory scale experiments are given. The efficiency of plasma accelerators is then revealed with suggestions on improvements. Sources that ca...
متن کاملInstability versus equilibrium propagation of a laser beam in plasma.
We obtain, for the first time, an analytic theory of the forward stimulated Brillouin scattering instability of a spatially and temporally incoherent laser beam that controls the transition between statistical equilibrium and nonequilibrium (unstable) self-focusing regimes of beam propagation. The stability boundary may be used as a comprehensive guide for inertial confinement fusion designs. W...
متن کاملThe role of plasma in advanced accelerators*
The exponential increase in beam energy delivered by accelerators over the last seventy years is due in part to improvements and enlargements of fixed technology, and in part to the introduction of new acceleration techniques to replace those that had reached the outer bounds of their performance. The present technology of synchrotrons and linear accelerators is clearly near the end of the road...
