Visible-Laser Acceleration of Relativistic Electrons in a Semi-Infinite Vacuum. Plettner, T., Byer, R. L., Colby, E., Cowan, B., Sears, C. M.<nbsp>S., Spencer, J. E., & Siemann, R. H. Physical Review Letters, 95(13):134801, September, 2005. Paper doi abstract bibtex We demonstrate a new particle acceleration mechanism using 800 nm laser radiation to accelerate relativistic electrons in a semi-infinite vacuum. The experimental demonstration is the first of its kind and is a proof of principle for the concept of laser-driven particle acceleration in a structure loaded vacuum. We observed up to 30 keV energy modulation over a distance of 1000λ, corresponding to a 40 MeV/m peak gradient. The energy modulation was observed to scale linearly with the laser electric field and showed the expected laser-polarization dependence. Furthermore, as expected, laser acceleration occurred only in the presence of a boundary that limited the laser-electron interaction to a finite distance.
