Multi-laser beam accelerator

Description

A new scheme of particle acceleration is proposed in which an electron (or a positron) can coherently interact with a system of multi-laser beams. The system can trap and accelerate the particle obliquely to the direction of the beams, the principle being analogous to VpxB or the cross field acceleration. It is demonstrated that if the electric field of an individual laser beam is 4 x 109 V/cm we may have a beam of 1 TeV electrons in a 100 m long device with a static magnetic field less than 20 kG.
