We present recent results in keV level acceleration of electrons using microJoule, single-cycle THz pulses. THz-driven structures represent a promising emerging technology for development of compact acceleration of sub-femtosecond electron bunches. The millimeter scale of the driving field offers a favorable compromise between conventional accelerators which are proven & reliable but large &...

Since their inception, photocathode materials have been generally fallen into one of three categories: a bulk metal (such as copper or magnesium); a bulk semiconductor, perhaps with a surface treatment (such as cesiated gallium arsenide); or a thin-film semiconductor (for example cesium telluride deposited upon a molybdenum substrate).
In recent years, apart from process improvements, there...

This report is presented on behalf of the workshop organising committee chaired by B. Cros and P. Muggli; workshop presentations are available at https://indico.cern.ch/event/569406/.
Advanced and novel accelerators have achieved electron energy gains in the multi-GeV range, relevant for high energy physics applications. Several remaining challenges have been identified and need to be...
