  2. WG3 summary • 19 talks • 4 student posters • 9 talks on dielectric laser accelerators • 2 talks on mm-wave accelerators • 2 talks on breakdown • 3 talks on accelerator technology • PBG accelerating structures, nanostructures, cyclotron autoresonance, and artificial materials.

  3. Recent demonstration of record high gradients in dielectric laser accelerating structures Kent Wootton (SLAC) Demonstration of accelerating gradients in excess of 1 GV/m ! • Relativistic electron beam • 800nm laser, 65 fs pulse duration • SLAC (NLCTA): 690±100 MV/m • UCLA (PEGASUS) 1.4 GV/m

  4. In addition to acceleration, extending scale of DLAs beyond ~1 mm necessitates focussing Deflecting structure at 45˚ Square pillars, three heights Centre designed for zero net force Supports multiple beams at wavelength spacing.

  11. Artificial materials for DLAs Adi Hanuka (Technion) Electric • Are dielectric materials optical choice? • Compare to planar Bragg array • PBA consisting of artificial materials (permeable) layers: • For small gap, it manifests higher efficiency than dielectric PBA. • Higher interaction impedance for higher contrast.
