Wakefield Acceleration: Concepts and Machines

  • Chapter
High-Brightness Accelerators

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 178))

Abstract

An introduction of the basic concepts of wakefields and wake potentials is presented in Richard K. Cooper’s paper “Wake Fields: Limitations and Possibilities” in these proceedings. In this lecture we explore the possibility of using wakefield concepts to accelerate electrons and positrons to the high energies required by the next generation of linear colliders.
