Abstract Gradients on the order of 1 GV/m have been obtained via single cycle (~1 ps) THz pulses produced by the conversion of a high peak power laser radiation in nonlinear crystals (~1 mJ, 1 ps, up to 3% conversion efficiency). For electron beam acceleration with such broadband (0.1- 5 THz) pulses, we propose arrays of parabolic focusing micro-mirrors with common central. To measure energy gain of electrons in the THz structure we propose applying a voltage (up to 400 kV) to the structure respecting the cathode and anode. Electrons become preliminary accelerated at the entrance that makes design of the structure simpler, because velocity of particles is near to be constant and almost equals the speed of light. On the other hand, the anode can be reached only by the electrons accelerated in the THz field so that one can directly measure the resulting energy gain at the anode.
Funding This work in a part of THz structure simulations was supported by Russian Science Foundation grant 19-42-04133.
