Nanomaterials Based Nanoplasmonic Accelerators and Light-Sources Driven by Particle-Beams

Unprecedented tens of TVm(-1) fields are modeled to be realizable using novel nanoplasmonic surface crunch -in modes in nanomaterials. These relativistic nonlinear surface modes are accessible due to advances in nanofabrication and quasi -solid density sub -micron particle bunch compression. Proof of principle of TVm(-1) plasmonics is provided using three-dimensional computational and analytical modeling of GeV scale energy gain in sub -millimeter long tubes having nanomaterial walls with controllable free-electron densities, n(t) similar to 10(22-24) cm(-3) and hundreds of nanometer core radius driven by quasi -solid electron beams, n(b) similar to 0.01n(t). Besides the tens of TeVm(-1) acceleration gradients, equally strong transverse fields lead to self-focusing and nanomodulation of the beam which drive extreme beam compression to ultra -solid peak densities increasing the crunch -in field strength. Apart from ultra-solid particle beams, extreme focusing also opens up a nano -wiggler like tunable coherent O(100MeV) ultra -dense photon source.

Automated summary

Novel nanoplasmonic surface crunch modes in nanomaterials can realize unprecedented tens of TVm(-1) fields, driven by quasi-solid electron beams to achieve GeV scale energy gain. This also leads to extreme beam compression and ultra-solid peak densities in the nanomaterial walls.
