AB - We present first results in THz-based electron acceleration using a novel multilayer structure which we dub a Butterfly LINAC. THz-based accelerators are mm-scale devices that bridge the gap between micron-scale, ultra-compact devices such as laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) and dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) and meter-scale conventional accelerators. These intermediate-scale devices are promising because they combine many of the benefits of LPAs and DLAs, such as intrinsic synchronization and high acceleration gradients with the benefits of conventional accelerators such as high charge capacity, tunability as well as the robustness, stability and simple fabrication of static, macroscopic acceleration structures. The Butterfly LINAC allows optimization of electron acceleration using transversely-coupled single-cycle THz pulses by phase-matching electrons with the driving field. Proof-of-concept experiments will be described demonstrating 10 keV energy gain of a 55 keV source, in good agreement with simulation. Scalability of this device to the MeV level and applicability towards free electron lasers and ultrafast electron diffractometers will also be discussed.
