Near Field " Laser Accelerators

چکیده
One particular laser accelerator is discussed in detail: the Template Laser (LT) Accelerator. According to one design, it employs mirrors placed periodically along the particle trajectory. According to another design, the mirrors are omitted, and additional electromagnetic fields are employed instead. The former design is a near field accelerator, but the latter is not. It is shown that contrary to intuition, a multiplicy of Fourier components will accelerate more efficiently than if the radiation is concentrated into only one component. Radiation damage on thin mirrors can be reduced by allowing appropriately phased additional radiation to impinge on the backside of the mirror. The RLT accelerator makes use of a partially reflecting cylinder to "stack" photons. A second type of resonance can further enhance the accelerating field (R2LT accelerator).

Nowadays, due to the high costs and large dimensions of the conventional proton accelerators, other optimal methods for producing the proton beam have been studied. Using of Laser-driven proton accelerators is one of the important and new methods. In laser-driven ion acceleration, a highly ultra-intense laser pulse interacts with solid density targets and will create a plasma media that will ac...

In the near future, laser-plasma particle accelerators will be able to sustain electric fields in excess of 100 GeV/m, along plasma channels several Rayleigh lengths long. For these extreme conditions, present day laser wakefield diagnostics such as Frequency Domain Interferometry will not be able to resolve the wake field structure and determine the magnitude of the electric field. In this pap...

Laser accelerators offer the promise of producing attosecond electron bunches from a compact accelerator. Electron source requirements for laser accelerators are challenging in several respects, but are achievable. We discuss these requirements, and propose an injector design.

متن کاملProposed few-optical cycle laser-driven particle accelerator structure
We describe a transparent dielectric grating accelerator structure that is designed for ultrashort laser pulse operation. The structure is based on the principle of periodic field reversal to achieve phase synchronicity for relativistic particles; however, to preserve ultrashort pulse operation it does not resonate the laser field in the vacuum channel. The geometry of the structure appears wel...
