Vacuum laser acceleration in proof of principle at BNLATF

The novel and revolutionary concept of real Vacuum Laser A acceleration proof of principle is described in this paper. The simulation with the current BNL-ATF parameter shows that electron beam can get net energy from intense laser beam. The initial 20MeV electron beam with energy spread of 10 −3 can get hundreds of KeV energy gain with energy spread of 10 −2 by interacting with a laser a 0 = 1. The proposal has been presented and approved by BNL-ATF. The experiment for this proof of principle is going to be scheduled.
