本文首先给出了作者的观点，如何等离子体加速（PBA）领域的发展，以及如何目前的实验，理论和模拟的动机是长期应用PBA的未来直线对撞机和X射线自由电子激光器。然后，我们专注于一些早期的应用，可能会出现从PBA的研究，如电子束放射治疗，定向，但不相干的X射线束的科学和技术，近单周期连续可调谐红外脉冲光谱，和非微扰量子电动力学实现PBA电子束。我们认为，只要社会各界同心协力，这些短期的应用项目可在未来十年内发展出来。
This article first gives the authors' perspectives on how the field of plasma-based acceleration (PBA) developed and how the current experiments, theory, and simulations are motivated by long term applications of PBA to a future linear collider and an x-ray free electron laser. We then focus on some early applications that will likely emerge from PBA research such as electron beam radiotherapy, directional but incoherent x-ray beams for science and technology, near single cycle continuously tunable infrared pulses for spectroscopy, and non-perturbative quantum electrodynamics enabled by PBA electron beams. In our opinion, these near term applications could be developed within the next decade with a concerted effort by the community.
