Description
We are pleased to announce a 3-hour teleconference meeting to be hosted on June 23, 2020 (8am to 11am US Pacific, 5pm to 8pm Central Europe) via Zoom teleconference. The goal of this meeting is to explore applications for a future compact dielectric micro-structure based accelerator powered by ultrafast solid state lasers. This approach to particle acceleration, colloquially referred to as an "accelerator on a chip", has garnered increasing interest in recent years. Please register at the link to the left. Registration deadline: June 5 The Accelerator on a Chip International Program (ACHIP), a multi-institutional research program led by Stanford University and Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), and funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, has been formed to address the many scientific and engineering challenges of advancing this technology toward useful applications. As part of this program, we have established a working group to explore Applications for dielectric laser-driven accelerators. ACHIP home page: https://achip.stanford.edu Colleagues with expertise in industry, medicine, radiation generation, attosecond science, photonics, lasers, and other interrelated disciplines have been invited to help us explore the wide range of possible applications for a laser-driven accelerator and to identify the major challenges which must be addressed to advance this promising technology towards real-world applications. We have divided the discussion into three topical areas. Participants are welcome to contribute to any or all of these. More information on each topic and a set of charge questions can be found by clicking on the "Topical Areas" link on the left. *UED and Attosecond Science* *Medical Dosimetry* *Radiation Generation* Meeting Organizers: Joel England (SLAC) Peter Hommelhoff (FAU Erlangen) Pietro Musumeci (UCLA) Yenchieh Huang (National Tsing Hua University) Olav Solgaard (Stanford)
