Nanostructured Tube Wakefield Accelerator
Unprecedented $$\rm TeVm^{-1}$$ acceleration gradients are modeled to be realizable using a nonlinear surface crunch-in mode in nanostructured tubes. This mode is realizable using advances in nanofabrication and solid energy density attosecond bunch compression. Three dimensional computational and analytical modeling demonstrates GeV energy gain in sub-millimeter long tubes with effective wall densities $$n_{\rm t}\sim10^{22-24}\rm cm^{-3}$$ and hundreds of nanometer core radius when driven by submicron near solid electron beams, $$n_{\rm b}\sim0.05n_{\rm t}$$. Besides the many $$\rm TVm^{-1}$$ average gradients, strong self-focusing and nanomodulation of the beam which increases its peak density and the wakefield strength also opens up controlled high-energy photon production.
