Plasma Wakefield And Laser-Driven Accelerators Bob Siemann, SLAC 1. 2. 3. 4. Introductory Comments Vacuum Laser Acceleration Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Summary An overview of the advanced accelerator research at SLAC. Experiments are being conducted with the goal of exploring high gradient acceleration mechanisms. One line of research is devoted to plasma wakefield acceleration where a plasma wave is excited by a beam. Particles in the head of the beam lose energy to this wave while those in the tail are accelerated by it. These experiments are conducted with 30 GeV electron and positron beams with bunch lengths between 10 and 600 microns. Results include acceleration, focusing and transport, and plasma production through tunneling ionization. The other line of research is devoted to laser-driven accelerators. These linacs shrunk down to the micron scale are concepts based on laser and photonic developments. The concepts and planned experimental work are described. This work is performed by UCLA, USC, Stanford, SLAC collaborations. Advanced Accelerator Physics at SLAC Beam-Driven Plasma Acceleration: E-157, E-162, E-164, E-164X T. Katsouleas, S. Deng, S.
