Abstract for a General Audience on the Dielectric Laser Acceleration Group at SLAC
Lukaczyk, Louis.
Dielectric laser acceleration is a novel concept which could make particle accelerators more compact and economical. Conventional accelerators based on radio frequency technology have reached a limit for the maximum accelerating gradient they can provide even with superconducting cavities. By using micro-fabricated dielectric structures and conventional high power lasers, dielectric laser acceleration is estimated to produce an accelerating gradient up to 2 orders of magnitude greater than gradi...

Dielectric laser acceleration is a novel concept which could make particle accelerators more compact and economical. Conventional accelerators based on radio frequency technology have reached a limit for the maximum accelerating gradient they can provide even with superconducting cavities. By using micro-fabricated dielectric structures and conventional high power lasers, dielectric laser acceleration is estimated to produce an accelerating gradient up to 2 orders of magnitude greater than gradients produced by conventional RF accelerators.
