We present a general and efficient numerical algorithm for studying laser induced field emission from nanostructures. The method combines the Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain (DGTD) method for solving the optical field profile, the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method for capturing the electron dynamics and the Finite Element Method (FEM) for solving the static field distribution. The charge distribution is introduced to the time-domain method based on a modified Fowler-Nordheim field emission model, which accounts for the band-bending of the charge carriers at the emitter surface. This algorithm is capable of considering various effects in the emission process such as space-charge, Coulomb blockade and image charge. Simulation results are compared with experimental findings for optically driven electron emission from nanosharp Si-tips.

  A new, dedicated accelerator research facility SINBAD (Short INnovative Bunches and Accelerators at DESY) is proposed. This facility is aimed at promoting two major goals: (1) Short electron bunches for ultra-fast science. (2) Construction of a plasma accelerator module with useable beam quality. Research and development on these topics is presently ongoing at various places at DESY, as add-on experiments at operational facilities. The two research goals are intimately connected: short bunches and precise femtosecond timing are requirements for developing a plasma accelerator module. The scientific case of a dedicated facility for accelerator research at DESY is discussed. Further options are mentioned, like the use of a 1 GeV beam from Linac2 for FEL studies and the setup of an attosecond radiation source with advanced technology. The presently planned conversion of the DORIS storage ring and its central halls into the SINBAD facility is described. The available space will allow setting up several independent experiments with a cost-effective use of the same infrastructure. National and international contributions and proposals can be envisaged.

We report the first experimental demonstration of linear electron acceleration using an optically generated single cycle THz pulse centered at 0.45 THz. 7 keV of acceleration is achieved using 10 microJ THz pulses in a 3 mm interaction length. The THz pulse is produced via optical rectification of a 1.2 mJ, 1 micron laser pulse with a 1 kHz repetition rate. The THz pulse is coupled into a dielectric-loaded circular waveguide with 10 MeV/m on-axis accelerating gradient. A 25 fC input electron bunch is produced with a 60 keV DC photo-emitting cathode. The achievable accelerating gradient in the THz structures being investigated will scale rapidly by increasing the IR pulse energy (100 mJ - 1 J) and correspondingly the THz pulse energy. Additionally, with recent advances in the generation of THz pulses via optical rectification, in particular improvements to efficiency and generation of multi-cycle pulses, GeV/m accelerating gradients could be achieved. An ultra-compact high-gradient THz accelerator would be of interest for a wide variety of applications.
