Abstract
A system is provided for accelerating charged particles and producing high energy photons. The system includes a nanostructure comprising at least one tube having a hollow core channel surrounded by a wall of a nanomaterial, e.g., comprising wall electrons and ions. The nanostructure is configured to interact with a beam of charged particle having a quasi-solid beam density, e.g., greater than 1018 cm−3. The beam of charged particles gains energy or momentum at an average acceleration gradient, e.g., greater than 1 TeraVolt (TeV) per meter along a longitudinal direction, and undergoes focusing in a transverse direction to increase the density of the beam of the charged particles, e.g. by at least an order of magnitude.
