This presentation will review the current state of the art of laser technology, spanning the extremes of both ultrafast and high power, that have the potential to be used laser based accelerator technology.
A nearly monochromatic, polarized gamma-ray beam is a powerful tool
for nuclear physics research, ranging from collective motions to
strong interactions between nucleons, and to the dynamics of quarks and gluons.
Laser-driven Compton gamma-ray sources have been developed and operated
worldwide since the late 1970s. The High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS)
at the Triangle...
In this talk, I shall present the status of the Gamma Factory studies. I shall briefly summarise the potential applications of the Gamma Factory tools in many branches of science, discuss the accelerator and laser system requirements, and present the status of the Gamma Factory proof-of-principle SPS experiment preparations.
There has been significant discussion in the community regarding a future $\mu^+\mu^-$ collider. While such a facility is still decades away from realization, it is also understood that significant technological development and feasibility demonstrations are necessary at lower beam energies. Here we propose such a possibility coupled with a rich physics program. We propose a future Muon-Ion...
The development of muon accelerator and storage ring technology at the TeV scale provides enormous scientific potential not only for a mu+mu- collider, but also for deep inelastic scattering in a completely new regime when a TeV muon beam is brought into collision with a high-energy hadron beam. For example, if the Electron-Ion Collider at BNL were eventually upgraded with a TeV muon beam...
One of the fundamental challenges for the future leptonic colliders and neutrino factories is to design and construct new high-intensity sources of muons. The next-generation sources should increase the intensity of the presently operating ones by at least three orders of the magnitude and include an important option of producing longitudinally polarized muons. The main effort to achieve this...
