Charged Particle Accelerators based on Plasma Wave

Relevance of Plasma Science to Particle Accelerators ?

In following the theme of this Symposium, \Plasma Science and Its Applications," we may be suggesting to some readers that the \other" applications of Plasma Science somehow justify the existence of a eld traditionally devoted to fusion energy. In fact, we do not believe that plasma science can or should be justi ed for its spin-o contributions. Nevertheless, the unity of science would be serio...

Radiological and Economic Impact of Decommissioning Charged Particle Accelerators

To evaluate the real radiological and economic consequences of future dismantling of particle accelerators, up to now insufficient information was available in literature or even at the individual accelerator facilities themselves. DG ENV/C3 of the European Commission launched a project with focus on gathering quantitative and scientifically sound data on the number of accelerators in the EU, o...

Laser-driven plasma-wave electron 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...

Grasers Based on Particle Accelerators and on Lasers

Grasers based on a stimulated emission of gravitational radiation by relativistic charged particle beams in external fields and on conversion of laser radiation into grav-itational one in the magnetic fields as well as detectors are discussed. It was pointed out on a scheme where the gravitational radiation is not accompanied by an useless inaccessible by a value average power of the electromag...
