  • Abstract
    The analysis of a 100-MeV demonstration experiment based upon inverse Cerenkov acceleration (ICA) is presented. This experiment would use the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. With 50-GW of delivered laser peak power from the ATF CO2 laser, our analysis indicates the 65-MeV ATF e-beam can be accelerated to >165 MeV using three stages of acceleration in ~1 m of total length. The number of electrons accelerated can be raised to ~109 by prebunching the e-beam using an already available device
