Abstract :
Results for the effects of γs on materials for a new laser-driven accelerator are presented. Various optical and laser materials are compared. While Si and fused c-SiO2 appear ideal for subbandgap laser wavelengths, other interesting candidates include certain fluorides and compound semiconductors.
