	Funding: Supported by USA National Science Foundation, Award #1632588 Abstract: Research aiming to increase the RF breakdown threshold in electron/positron accelerators is being conducted at the Yale University Beam Physics Laboratory. Our two-beam accelerator approach employs a beam driven bimodal cavity structure. This cavity includes (i) two modes excited by the drive beam, with the higher mode frequency three times that of the fundamental TM010 mode; (ii) a low-current accelerated beam and high-current drive beam traversing the same cavity structure. This approach has the potential advantages of (a) operating at higher acceleration gradient with lower breakdown and pulsed heating rates than that of a single-mode cavity structure at the same acceleration gradient, due to the spatiotemporal field distribution properties in the bimodal cavities; and (b) obtaining high accelerating gradient with a low energy drive beam. Recent progress in simulations and work towards an experimental test stand is presented.

WEPLM51	Ka-Band High Power Harmonic Amplifier for Bunch Phase-Space Linearization	710
	X. Chang, Y. Jiang, S.V. Shchelkunov Yale University, Beam Physics Laboratory, New Haven, Connecticut, USA J.L. Hirshfield Omega-P, Inc., New Haven, Connecticut, USA
	Funding: Supported by USA National Science Foundation, Award #1632588 Abstract: A future European light source CompactLight is being proposed to extend FEL operation further into the x-ray region than other light sources by using a linac operating at X-band (12 GHz) with a short Ka-band (36 GHz) section for linearizing bunch phase space. The Ka-band system requires a high-power RF amplifier, synchronized with the main X-band source. We report here on design of a third-harmonic klystron amplifier for this application. Our design employs a four-cavity system with a multi-cell extended interaction output cavity. Initial simulation results indicate that more than 10 MW of 36-GHz power can be obtained with an efficiency exceeding 20%, and with 12-GHz drive power of 30 W. A preliminary design for a proof-of-principal experimental test of this concept is described
