Channeling Acceleration in Crystals and Nanostructures and Studies of Solid Plasmas: New Opportunities
Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWA) has shown illustrious progress over the past two decades of active research and resulted in an impressive demonstration of O(10 GeV) particle acceleration in O(1 m) long single structures. While already potentially sufficient for some applications, like, e.g., FELs, the traditional laser- and beam-driven acceleration in gaseous plasma faces enormous challenges when it comes to the design of the PWA-based O(1-10 TeV) high energy $e^+e^-$ colliders due to the complexity of energy staging, low average geometric gradients, and unprecedented transverse and longitudinal stability requirements. Channeling acceleration in solid-state plasma of crystals or nanostructures, e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or alumna honeycomb holes, has the promise of ultra-high accelerating gradients O(1-10 TeV/m), continuous focusing of channeling particles without need of staging, and ultimately small equilibrium beam emittances naturally obtained while accelerating.
