Abstract
Abstract
Laser-plasma accelerators are capable of sustaining
accelerating fields of 10–100 GeV/m, 100–1000 times that of
conventional technology and the highest fields produced by any of
the widely researched advanced accelerator concepts. Laser-plasma
accelerators also intrinsically accelerate short particle bunches,
several orders of magnitude shorter than that of conventional
technology, which leads to reductions in beamstrahlung and, hence,
savings in the overall power consumption to reach a desired
luminosity. These properties make laser-plasma accelerators a
promising accelerator technology for a more compact, less expensive
high-energy linear collider providing multi-TeV polarized leptons.
In this submission to the Snowmass 2021 Accelerator Frontier, we
discuss the motivation for a laser-plasma-accelerator-based linear
collider, the status of the field, and potential linear collider
concepts up to 15 TeV. We outline the research and development
path toward a collider based on laser-plasma accelerator technology,
and highlight near-term and mid-term applications of this technology
on the collider development path. The required experimental
facilities to carry out this research are described. We conclude
with community recommendations developed during Snowmass.
