Ultimate Gradient in Solid-State Accelerators
نویسنده
چکیده
We recall the motivation for research in high-gradient acceleration and the problems posed by a compact collider. We summarize the phenomena known to appear in operation of a solid-state structure with large fields, and research relevant to the question of the ultimate gradient. We take note of new concepts, and examine one in detail, a miniature particle accelerator based on an active millimeter-wave circuit and parallel particle beams.

A Solid State Accelerator
We present a solid state accelerator concept utilizing particle acceleration along crystal channels by longitudinal electron plasma waves in a metal. Acceleration gradients of order 100 GV/cm are theoretically possible, but channeling radiation limits the maximum attainable energy to lo5 TeV for protons. Beam dechanneling due to multiple scattering is substantially reduced by the high accelerat...

A novel short-pulse concept (SLIM) suited to a new generation of a high gradient induction particle accelerators is described herein. It applies advanced solid state semiconductor technology and modern microfabrication techniques to a coreless induction method of charged particle acceleration first proven on a macro scale in the 1960’s. Because this approach avoids use of magnetic materials the...

Working Group (WG) 3 assessed current challenges in developing advanced accelerators based on RF and laser-driven electromagnetic (EM) structures and surveyed the state-of-the-art research and methods addressing these challenges. A critical challenge for EM structures is the gradient limitation imposed by RF breakdown, pulsed heating, dark current, quench, thermal breakdown and other factors, d...
متن کاملTeV/m Nano-Accelerator: Current Status of CNT- Channeling Acceleration Experiment
Crystal channeling technology has offered various opportunities in the accelerator community with a viability of ultrahigh gradient (TV/m) acceleration for future HEP collider. The major challenge of channeling acceleration is that ultimate acceleration gradients might require a high power driver in the hard x-ray regime (~ 40 keV). This x-ray energy exceeds those for x-rays as of today, althou...
