Abstract:Charged particles traveling along a carbon nanotube (CNT) may produce the collective oscillation of the free electrons within the cylindrical graphene shell that makes up the nanotube wall. The associated electromagnetic modes (called plasmonic modes) are a potential candidate to achieve ultra-high accelerating gradients for particle acceleration. The plasmonic excitations can be studied by particle simulations and with analytical models. In this chapter, we firstly review different works that employ particle-… Show more
