The Colorado State University (CSU) Accelerator Facility will include a 6-MeV L-Band electron linear accelerator (linac) with a free-electron laser (FEL) system capable of producing Terahertz (THz) radiation, a laser laboratory, a microwave test stand, and a magnetic test stand. The photocathode drive linac will be used in conjunction with a hybrid undulator capable of producing THz radiation. ...

We use local quark-hadron duality to estimate the purely nonperturbative soft contribution to the γ * p → ∆ form factors. Our results are in agreement with existing experimental data. We predict that the ratio G * E (Q 2)/G * M (Q 2) is small for all accessible Q 2 , in contrast to the pQCD expectations that G * E (Q 2) → −G * M (Q 2).

objective: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of tissue composition on dose distribution in electron beam radiotherapy. methods : a siemens primus linear accelerator and a phantom were simulated using mcnpx monte carlo code. in a homogeneous cylindrical phantom, six types of soft tissue and three types of tissue-equivalent materials were investigated. the tissues included muscle (s...

We analyze two designs for W-Band free electron lasers for application as laboratory instruments in the study of millimeter wave accelerators at high gradient. The first design is based on the linear induction accelerator LELIA (CEA/CESTA, France), employs a 1kA, 80-ns electron pulse, and corresponds to a helical TE11 200MW W-Band amplifier design. We analyze also a W-Band planar ubitron design...

The versatility of laser accelerators in generating particle beams various types is often promoted as a key applicative advantage. These multiple particles, however, are generated on vastly different irradiation setups, so that switching from one type to another involves substantial mechanical changes. In this letter, we report laser-based accelerator generates either multi-MeV electrons or ion...

The BNL Laser-Electron Accelerator Facility (LEAF) uses a laser-pulsed photocathode, radio-frequency electron gun to generate ù7 ps pulses of 8.7 MeV electrons for pulse radiolysis experiments. The compact and operationally simple accelerator system includes synchronized laser pulses that can be used to probe or excite the electron-pulsed samples to examine the dynamics and reactivity of chemic...

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. Simulation and design work for essential components for a laser accelerator electron source suitable for a high energy ...
