Energy efficiency of an intracavity coupled, laser-driven linear accelerator pumped by an external laser

Energy efficiency of an intracavity coupled, laser-driven linear accelerator pumped by an external laser

We calculate the optimum energy efficiency of a laser-driven linear accelerator by adopting a simple linear model. In the case of single bunch operation, the energy efficiency can be enhanced by incorporating the accelerator into a cavity that is pumped by an external laser. In the case of multiple...
