Laser-Acceleration of Electrons

typical setup for electronlaser acceleration studies:

Nature 431 (Sept. 2004):3 groups report on laser accelerationof (low-emittance) electron beams with (quasi-monochromatic) 70-200 MeV

Pioneering work:

rapidly expanding field :since 2000 : >150 x PRL > 10 x Nature

Today ~3 GeV electrons

Laser-Ion AccelerationRadiation Pressure Acceleration RPA

Electrons and ions acceleratedat solid state densities 1024e cm-3 never reached before(Classical beam densities 108e cm-3)on very short distance (μm-mm)

E~ I laser

Energy reached equal to a 400m up-to-date accelerator (reduction of scale of 109)

thin targets (~ nm thick diamond-like carbon foils)

Compton backscattering: Eγ =4γe

2 EL

Ee=720 MeV => γe~ 700 => Eγ ~20 MeV

but very weak cross section: 6.6 10-25 cm2

Therefore for a powerful γ beam, one needs:- high intensity electron beams- very brilliant optical photon beams- very small collision volume- very high repetition frequency

Radioisotopes for medical use

• New approaches and methods for

producing radioisotopes urgently needed

• Mo-99 and other medical isotopes used

globally for diagnostic medical imaging and

radiotherapy

• 195mPt: In chemotherapy of tumors it can be

used to exclude ”non responding” patients from

unnecessary chemotherapy and optimizing the

dose of all chemotherapy

Materials Science and Engineering

• study of materials on the nano- and femto-scales

• novel experimental studies of material behavior – thanks

to extreme fields intensity provided by the laser and

gamma-ray beams

• understand, at the atomic scale, the behavior of materials

subject to extreme radiation doses and mechanical stress

• polarized positron beam – new microscopy
