Laser Acceleration of Relativistic Electrons Using the Inverse Cherenkov Effect
Abstract
A 580-MW peak power, radially polarized C${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ laser beam ($\ensuremath{\lambda}=10.6$ \ensuremath{\mu}m) focused by an axicon accelerated 40-MeV electrons by \ensuremath{\le}3.7 MeV over a 12-cm interaction length (31 MeV/m), using the inverse Cherenkov effect in which a gas is used to slow the light wave. This represents the first direct observation of acceleration using this effect and demonstrates the effectiveness of the radially-polarized-axicon-focused geometry. The observed energy gain agrees with model predictions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
