Funding: US Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics Negative refraction metamaterials (NR MTL) have been developed at microwave, THz, and optical frequencies. At present, microwave MTL's are studied for applications such as microwave filters and patch antennas. Accelerator-relevant applications, such as measuring electron bunch length using its inverse Cherenkov radiation in a NR MTL, have also been proposed. Here we propose a MTL based linear accelerator structure. The MTL is built as an array of complimentary split-ring resonators cut in two metallic plates. The accelerating electron bunch traverses between the plates. The operating mode's properties and standard accelerator parameters (R/Q, accelerating gradient, etc.) of the proposed structure will be reported. |
