Novel laser-plasma TeV electron-positron linear colliders

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

TeV center-of-mass energy electron-positron linear colliders comprising seamlessly staged capillary laser-plasma accelerators are presented. A moderate intensity laser pulse coupled with the single electromagnetic hybrid mode in a gas-filled capillary can generate plasma waves in the linear regime, where laser wakefields can accelerate equally focused electron and positron beams. In multiple stage capillary accelerators, a particle beam with respect to the laser wakefield can undergo consecutive acceleration up to TeV energies, associated with continuous transverse focusing in a beam size down to a nanometer level, being capable of a promising electron-positron linear collider with very high luminosities of the order of 1034 cm-2s-1. The transverse and longitudinal beam dynamics of beam particles in plasma wakefields with the effects of radiation reaction and multiple Coulomb scattering are investigated numerically to estimate the luminosities in beam-beam collisions with the effects of beamstrahlung radiation and bunch disruption.
