TI - First Acceleration in a Resonant Optical-Scale Laser-Powered Structure J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The Micro-Accelerator Platform (MAP), an optical-scale dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) based on a planar resonant structure that was developed at UCLA, has been tested experimentally. Successful acceleration was observed after a series of experimental runs at SLAC’s NLCTA facility, in which the input laser power was well below the predicted breakdown limit. Though acceleration gradients were modest (<50 MeV/m), these are the first proof-of-principle results for a resonant DLA structure. We present more detailed results and some implications for future work.
