Book excerpt: The final report describes work performed to investigate inverse Cherenkov acceleration (ICA) as a promising method for laser particle acceleration. In particular, an improved configuration of ICA is being tested in a experiment presently underway on the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF). In the experiment, the high peak power (∼ 10 GW) linearly polarized ATF CO2 laser beam is converted to a radially polarized beam. This is beam is focused with an axicon at the Cherenkov angle onto the ATF 50-MeV e-beam inside a hydrogen gas cell, where the gas acts as the phase matching medium of the interaction. An energy gain of ∼12 MeV is predicted assuming a delivered laser peak power of 5 GW. The experiment is divided into two phases. The Phase I experiments, which were completed in the spring of 1992, were conducted before the ATF e-beam was available and involved several successful tests of the optical systems. Phase II experiments are with the e-beam and laser beam, and are still in progress. The ATF demonstrated delivery of the e-beam to the experiment in Dec. 1992. A preliminary d̀̀ebugging ̀̀run with the e-beam and laser beam occurred in May 1993. This revealed the need for some experimental modifications, which have been implemented. The second run is tentatively scheduled for October or November 1993. In parallel to the experimental efforts has been ongoing theoretical work to support the experiment and investigate improvement and/or offshoots. One exciting offshoot has been theoretical work showing that free-space laser acceleration of electrons is possible using a radially-polarized, axicon-focused laser beam, but without any phase-matching gas. The Monte Carlo code used to model the ICA process has been upgraded and expanded to handle different types of laser beam input profiles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past year further progress was made on preparations for the Spectra Technology, Inc. (STI) inverse Cerenkov acceleration (ICA) experiment to be performed on the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Major progress was made in the design and fabrication of the experimental apparatus. This includes the gas cell, where the ICA process occurs, and the optical system that converts the CO2 laser beam into a radially polarized beam. In terms of progress on theoretical work, the authors finished optimizing the ATF ICA design parameters using their Monte Carlo computer simulation. The optimized design predicts for the ATF conditions that over 50% energy gain should be observed. They published a paper on an improved method of performing ICA by operating near the resonance of a gas. They also began analysis of a method of accelerating particles in a vacuum using a radially polarized beam and axicon focusing. Although this new method can no longer be considered ICA, it has the potential of high acceleration gradients without the drawbacks of gas scattering and gas breakdown. Three papers were published and two conference papers were presented during 1990.
