Without further novel technology, we will eventually need an

accelerator as large as Hawking expected.

Modern accelerators require high quality beams: ==> High Luminosity & High Brightness

==> High Energy & Low Energy Spread

–Small spot size => low emittance

–N of particles per pulse => 109

–High rep. rate fr=> bunch trains

–Little spread in transverse momentum and angle => low emittance

–Short pulse (ps to fs)

structures (~resonant)

② Wake Field Acceleration (~transient)(LWFA,

PWFA, DWFA)

HIGH GRADIENT AAC ROAD MAP

• Power sources

• Accelerating structures

• High quality beams

The simplest solution: particle interacting with a

plane wave in free space (e.g. laser)

What about wakefields?Courtesy of Cho Ng, SLAC

the EM fields of the accelerating wave are created inside of the structure itself by

an intense, relativistic particle beam. This drive beam may be of lower quality and

energy than a trailing, accelerating beam. Further, the drive beam may be specially

shaped (in, e.g. a rising triangular current profile) to give much larger acceleration in

the trailing beam than deceleration in the driver.

Active Plasma lens

The use plasma wakefields for creating lenses with extreme focusing

strength was proposed for a linear collider final focus (5 orders stronger

than conventional magnets).

Conclusions (I)

• RF accelerating structures, from X-bandto K-band => 100 MV/m < Eacc< 1 GV/m

• Dielectric structures, laser or particledriven => 1 GV/m < Eacc < 5 GV/m

• Plasma accelerator, laser or particledriven => 1 GV/m < Eacc < 100 GV/m

There are several options for high gradientstructures:

Conclusions (II)

The R&D is pursued in a modern way

- Collaborative effort (networking, both in Europe and US)

- Building a demonstrator facility

- Strong use of simulation (start-to-end, multidisciplinary)

Application driven accelerators (HEP, radiation sources, materialscience, radio-biology, …)

Accelerator physics is opening to different fields (laser science, plasmaphysics, computer science, advanced technology…) …very interesting!

Compact machine to spread the use of particle accelerators

The R&D now concentrates on beam quality, stability, staging andcontinuous operation.
