Dielectric Laser Acceleration of a Proton Beam — •Ang Li1, Joshua McNeur1, Johannes Depner1, Jonas Hammer1, Thorsten Kühn1, and Peter Hommelhoff1, 2 — 1Department of Physics, Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Staudtstrasse 1, 91058 Erlangen, Germany — 2Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Hans-Kopfermann-Strasse 1, 85748 Garching, Germany
Dielectric Laser Acceleration, first demonstrated in 2013 by groups at Stanford [1] and Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) [2], can potentially be used to accelerate low energy (∼10 MeV) protons. Here we introduce the concept of Dielectric Acceleration of protons, including basic theory, simulation results, and the planned experiment at The Tandem Accelerator at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). Beam diagnostics at the Tandem Accelerator, and an outlook on future activities (e.g. focus the beam by using a triplet magnetic lens system, Dielectric Laser Acceleration with a 2 micron Thulium laser and a use of a 120 degree bending magnet as beam spectrometer, etc.) and potential long-term applications will be discussed.
