The nonlinear interaction of a tenuous continuous electron beam with a traveling electromagnetic wave in the cyclotron resonance laser accelerator is analyzed using a single-particle model and multi-particle simulation. It is found that the maximum beam energy gain and acceleration distance obey certain scaling laws for optimized systems, and that the maximum energy gain is limited primarily by...

This paper is motivated by the growing importance of better understanding of the phenomena and consequences of high-intensity energetic particle beam interactions with accelerator, generic target, and detector components. It reviews the principal physical processes of fast-particle interactions with matter, effects in materials under irradiation, materials response, related to component lifetim...

The concepts of laser-plasma based accelerator and injector are discussed here. Recent tests done at LOA as well as design studies of high-quality few GeV’s electron beam with low energy spread (1%) are presented. These laser-produced particle beams have a number of interesting properties and could lend themselves to applications in many fields, including medicine (radiotherapy), chemistry (rad...

A baseline design for the NLC positron source based on the existing SLC positron system is described. The proposed NLC source consists of a dedicated S-band electron accelerator, a conventional positron production and capture system utilizing a high-Z target and an adiabatic matching device, and an L-band positron linac. The invariant transverse acceptance of the capture system is 0.06 m⋅rad, e...

There is a strong interest from the physics community for high-quality, high-intensity neutrino beams as produced by a neutrino factory. With the help of other European laboratories, CERN has started a study on some of the many technological challenges of such a facility. Present ideas concerning the proton driver, as well as the muon accelerator complex, are presented and plans for the future ...

Space-charge effects play an important role in high intensity and brightness particle accelerators. These were generally studied self-consistently by solving the Vlasov-Poisson equations using a particle-in-cell method accelerator community. In this paper, we propose alternative to simulate space-charge accelerator. Instead of equations, proposed approach solves Schr\"odinger-Poisson study Usin...

We report the characteristics and performance of the UCLA S-band compact electron accelerator, consisting of a high brightness, 8 cm long, photo-injector with a copper cathode, followed by a 42 cm long plane wave transformer accelerating structure, delivering a beam energy of 10 MeV. The photo-electrons are produced by a 266 nm laser pulse of less than 4 ps in duration. Over time the laser indu...
