Description
Atomic-scale TV/m wakefields in fiber-like nanostructured tubes are elucidated to be realizable using nonlinear tube surface electron “crunch-in” oscillations. Effective excitation of surface crunch-in oscillations as tube wakefields can sustain electron density waves with wavebreaking fields that offer many GeV energy gain in sub-millimeter nanostructured tube modules. A proof-of-principle prototype is now within reach using the convergence of recently demonstrated near solid density submicron particle beams and the emergent attosecond x-ray lasers with the advances in nanofabrication. Atomic wakefield module not only accelerates solid-density beams which stimulate the realization of “TeV on a chip” but also opens up controlled radiation production using nanometric beam oscillations in TV/m focusing tube wakefields.
