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.
