| The PASER concept for particle acceleration entails the direct transfer of energy from an active medium to a charged particle beam. The PASER was originally formulated for optical (laser) media; we are pursuing a PASER demonstration experiment based on an optically pumped paramagnetic medium active in the X-band. We report on the development of a relatively high energy density microwave active medium consisting of a fullerene (C60) derivative in a toluene solution. We discuss both the bench test of an amplifier and a beam acceleration experiment under construction that employ this medium as a power source. Applications of the technology to accelerators and microwave components will be presented. |
