Abstract

Currently there is an increasing interest in dielectric wall accelerators. These work by slowing the speed of an EM wave to match the velocity of a particle beam, allowing wave-beam interactions, accelerating the beam. However conventional dielectric materials have limited interaction regions, so wave-beam energy transfer is minimal.
In this paper we consider Artificial Materials (AMs), as slow wave structures, in the presence of charged particle beams to engineer Inverse-Cherenkov acceleration. AMs are periodic constructs whose properties depend on their sub- wavelength geometry rather than their material composition, and can be engineered to give an arbitrary dispersion relation. We show that Metamaterials, one example of an AM, can mediate an Inverse-Cherenkov interaction, but break down in high power environments due to high absorption. We con- sider AMs with low constitutive parameters and show they can exhibit low absorption whilst maintaining the ability to have a user defined dispersion relation, and mediate a wave- beam interaction leading to Inverse-Cherenkov acceleration.
