Advanced dielectric-structure based particle accelerators

光束驱动的介电加速器有可能以比当前技术高几个数量级的梯度加速粒子束。这个项目包括通过实验和模拟来理解这种结构中束束的光束动力学。利用这种纵向和横向的动力学，将允许开发诸如解密器和裸眼/踢球器之类的光束操纵器。该项目的实验工作将在达斯伯里实验室的CLARA/VELA设施进行。

Beam-driven dielectric accelerators have the potential to accelerate particle beams at orders of magnitude higher gradients than current technology. This project involves understanding, both experimentally and using simulations, the beam dynamics of bunches within such a structure. Taking advantage of such dynamics, longitudinally and transversely, will allow beam manipulators to be developed such as dechirpers and streakers/kickers. Experimental work for this project will be conducted at the CLARA/VELA facility at Daresbury Laboratory.
