Funding: DOE Metamaterials (MTMs) are periodic artificially constructed electromagnetic structures. The periodicity of the MTM is much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation being transported. With this condition satisfied, MTMs can be assigned an effective permittivity and permeability. Areas of possible application of MTMs in accelerator science are Cherenkov detectors and wakefield devices. MTMs can be designed to be anisotropic and dispersive. The combination of engineered anisotropy and dispersion can produce a Cherenkov radiation spectrum with a different dependence on particle energy than conventional materials. This can be a basis for novel non-invasive beam energy measurements. We report on progress in the development of these media for a proof-of-principle demonstration of a metamaterial-based beam diagnostic. |
