Deconfinement of Quarks with TeV Attosecond Photon Beams
POSTER
Abstract
Recently, I have proposed a novel heuristic method for the deconfinement of quarks.\footnote{M. Gell-Mann. \textbf{The Quark and the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex }(New York, NY: W.H. Freeman and Co., 1994) [cf. M. Gell-Mann, \textit{The Garden of Live Flowers} in: V. Stefan (Editor), \textbf{Physics and Society. Essays Honoring Victor Frederick Weisskopf }(Springer, 1998), pp. 109-121].} It proceeds in two phases.\footnote{V. Alexander Stefan, \textbf{On a Heuristic Point of View About Inertial Deconfinement of Quarks}, American Physical Society, 2009 APS April Meeting, May 2-5, 2009, abstract {\#}E1.038.} Firstly, a frozen hydrogen pellet is inertially confined by the ultra-intense lasers up to a solid state density. Secondly, a solid state nano-pellet is ``punched'' by the photon beam created in the beat wave driven free electron laser (BW-FEL), leading to the ``rapture'' (in a ``karate chop'' model) of the ``MIT Bag''\footnote{J. I. Friedman and H. Kendall, \textit{Viki}, in: V. Stefan (Editor), \textbf{Physics and Society. }(Springer, 1998), pp. 103-108].\par } before the asymptotically free quarks move apart. Hereby, I propose TeV, a few 100s attosecond, photon beams in interaction with the nano-pellet. The threshold ``rapture force'' of the TeV attosecond photon is 10$^{7 }$N.
