Abstract

It is suggested that electron-positron (e+e-) plasma can be accelerated using the concept of cyclotron autoresonance between the particles and a linearly polarized laser radiation propagating along an axial magnetic field (Bz). This scheme can also be applied for other plasmas with oppositely charged particles of equal |q|/m (e.g., positive and negative ions). An e+e- plasma can be accelerated to about 2 GeV in the first meter along a 100-kG guide magnetic field by using an Nd:glass laser (0 = 1 μm) with intensity I0 = 1018 W/cm2. The acceleration scales asymptotically as (Bz I0 0 z2)1/3, where z is the axial distance.
