Feasibility of electron cyclotron autoresonance acceleration by a short terahertz pulse

Opt Express. 2015 Jun 29;23(13):17560-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.017560.

Abstract

A vacuum auto-resonance accelerator scheme for electrons, which employs terahertz radiation and currently available magnetic fields, is suggested. Based on numerical simulations, parameter values, which could make the scheme experimentally feasible, are identified and discussed.
