Progress on Direct Detection of Radioisotopes with Accelerators

Progress 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...

Investigation of Possible Dark Matter Direct Detection in Electron Accelerators

We investigate a possibility of neutralino dark matter (DM) direct detection in the future electron accelerators. That is counting of high pT electron recoil events by neutralinos in halo. If selectron and neutralino masses would be precisely measured in future collider experiments, the beam energy could be tuned so that the scatterings are dominated by on-pole selectron exchange. When selectro...

Recent Progress on Laser Driven Accelerators and Applications

Directed laser beams provide a very useful way of concentrating energy efficiently. Using them for acceleration of particles however is challenging. An electron in an intense laser beam will behave much like a cork on water as a huge wave passes by-bobbing up and down on the wave but not really going anywhere. In 1979, Tajima and Dawson [1] solved the problem of how to transfer the laser beam e...
