Laser acceleration and its future
Laser acceleration is based on the concept to marshal collective fields that may be induced by laser. In order to exceed the material breakdown field by a large factor, we employ the broken-down matter of plasma. While the generated wakefields resemble with the fields in conventional accelerators in their structure (at least qualitatively), it is their extreme accelerating fields that distingui...
متن کاملLaser-Based Particle Acceleration
Using state-of-the-art high-power laser systems, we are able to routinely generate extreme energy densities and focused light intensities in a controlled laboratory environment. During the interaction of these laser pulses with matter a plasma is generated that can both sustain and support huge electric fields. These can be used as a novel type of accelerator structure for electrons and ions ha...
متن کاملLaser Acceleration in Vacuum
This paper explores the use of the large electric fields of high-brightness lasers (e.g., up to order TV/cm) to accelerate particles. Unfortunately, as is well known, it is difficult to couple the vacuum field of the laser to particles so as to achieve a net energy gain. In principle, the energy gain near the focus of the laser can be quite high, i.e., on the order of the work done in crossing ...
متن کاملVacuum Laser Acceleration Tests
We propose to test for the possibility of accelerating an electron beam (utilizing the existing high-power CO2 laser and low emittance electron beam at Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility) in vacuum to the current CO2 laser power limit. The latest vacuum laser acceleration results can be verified [1] by the schemes discussed here.
متن کاملVacuum Laser Acceleration
The purpose of this communication is to comment on and discuss laser acceleration of electrons in vacuum. In particular, we will: (i) critique the recent paper by C.M. Haaland [ 11, titled “Laser electron acceleration in vacuum”, (ii) discuss some general features and characteristics of laser acceleration in vacuum and (iii) propose a vacuum laser acceleration concept called the “vacuum beat wa...
