LABORATORI NAZIONALI DI LEGNARO
High energy particle beams with extreme luminosities and ultra-bright beams for energetic radiation sources are ubiquitous tools for studying the structure of matter in a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Last century saw huge progress in the development of very efficient radio-frequency based accelerators. However, these require large scale research infrastructures in order to reach highest beam energies, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In order to reduce the size, costs and complexity of these facilities, particle P. Muggli, et al, PRL 93:014802 (2004) and S. Kneip et al., PRL 103 (2009) 0350052. and laser driven W. Leemans et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 1615 (1998) and C.G.R. Geddes, et al., Nature 431, 538-541 (2004). plasma wakefield acceleration, as well as recent advances in dielectric laser acceleration E.A. Peralta, et al., Nature 503, 91-94 (2013). are very promising alternatives. Intense R&D is still required so that the output beam quality in terms of its emittance, energy sharpness and pulse structure can match the performance of cutting edge RF accelerators. In this talk we will introduce the new acceleration techniques mechanisms and we will discuss the most interesting results obtained so far.
