Phase stability in surfatron acceleration

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5690675
Particle motion in a laser beat-wave plasma field with a transverse magnetic field is explored. It is determined that stable, phase-space buckets for acceleration are established by these fields and that particles injected near the beat-wave phase velocity can be trapped in these buckets and accelerated indefinitely, with stable phase-energy oscillations about the accelerating phase. Parameters for high-energy accelerators and lower energy demonstration experiments are presented.
