Abstract

Laser acceleration holds out the prospect of very high gradient machines. High energy physics will ultimately need such a technological leap to keep energy-frontier research (E ≫ 1 TeV) within the realm of practicality. Compact high-brightness GeV-sources would have broad applicability in science, industry and defense. Both vacuum- and plasma-based concepts for laser acceleration promise gradients of G > 1 GeV/meter, which has already been borne out experimentally in the latter case. However, there is no idea at present how to build a real accelerator based on any such scheme (i.e. a design which is stageable to high energies, producing a monochromatic, high current, low-emittance beam).
