We present experimental studies of metamaterial (MTM) structures for wakefield acceleration. The MTM structure is an all-metal periodic structure with its period much smaller than the wavelength at X-band. The fundamental TM mode has a negative group velocity, so an electron beam traveling through the structure radiates by reversed Cherenkov radiation. Two experiments have been completed at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA), namely the Stage-I and Stage-II experiments. Differences between the two experiments include: (1) Structure length (Stage-I 8 cm, Stage-II 20 cm); (2) Bunch number used to excite the structure (Stage-I up to 2 bunches, Stage-II up to 8 bunches). In the Stage-I experiment, two bunches with a total charge of 85 nC generated 80 MW of RF power in a 2 ns long pulse. In the Stage-II experiment, the highest peak power reached 380 MW in a 10 ns long pulse from a train of 8 bunches with a total charge of 224 nC. Acceleration of a witness bunch has not been demonstrated yet, but the extracted power can be transferred to a separate accelerator for two-beam acceleration or directly applied to a trailing witness bunch in the same structure for collinear acceleration.

  Short-pulse two-beam acceleration (SP-TBA) is an advanced acceleration concept that can potentially meet the luminosity and cost requirements in future linear colliders and XFELs. In this concept, a high charge drive beam travelling through a structure excites short wakefield field (<20 ns) which is used to accelerate a low charge main beam in a parallel structure. A SP-TBA program is under development at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility where 300 MW generated power, 150 MeV/m acceleration gradient, and simplified staging have been successfully achieved. Based on the ongoing effort of novel dielectric disk structure, fast kicker/septum, and improved beam quality, a fully-functional demonstrator that can fit into AWA’s current bunker is proposed to demonstrate key technologies required by SP-TBA based machines: GW power generation, >250 MV/m acceleration, drive beam distribution/transportation, successive main beam acceleration, etc. The 70 MeV drive beam will be decelerated by four power extractors in two stages so as to boost the main beam energy from 15 MeV to 500 MeV by the four corresponding accelerators. The conceptual design will be presented in detail.

Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) group demonstrated arbitrary longitudinal shaping capability of thee emittance exchange (EEX) beamline in 2016. Several different transverse masks were used to shape the beam transversely, and the transmission through the mask was around 40%. The masking is one of the easiest ways to control the profile, but this low transmission would make significant drop of the beam quality due to a higher charge requirement in the gun, and it can make thermal issues for high repetition rate or high intensity beams. At the same time, it only controls the profile not a 2D phase space. We recently proposed a scheme to generate a tunable bunch train using a EEX beamline with a transverse wiggler. This wiggler provides a sinusoidal magnetic field which makes a sinusoidal modulation on the transverse phase space. If the beam passes series of transverse wigglers with different period and strength, one can make arbitrary correlation on the horizontal position and momentum. It opens up totally new way to control all longitudinal properties including arbitrary current profile shaping without charge loss. In this poster, we present the concept of the work and plan.

  Nonlinearities on the longitudinal phase space in-duce a double-horn current profile when the bunch is compressed strongly. Since this double-horn can de-grade the performance of FELs due to the CSR it makes, the suppression of the double-horn is one of important beam dynamics issues. Emittance exchange (EEX) can be interesting option for this issue due to its longitudinal controllability. Since EEX exchanges the longitudinal phase space and transverse phase space, higher order magnets such as octupole can control the nonlinearity. In this paper, we present simulation re-sults on the suppression of the double-horn current profile using EEX based bunch compression. We use a double EEX beamline installed at the Argonne Wake-field Accelerator facility for the simulation.

  RF breakdown is one of the major limitations to achieve high gradient acceleration for future structure-based normal conducting linear colliders. Previous statistic research shows that the breakdown rate is proportional to Ea30 * tp5, which indicates that the accelerating gradient Ea could be improved by using shorter RF pulses (tp). An X-band 11.7~GHz metallic single-cell structure has been designed for RF breakdown study up to 273~MV/m using short pulses (~3ns) generated by a 400~MW power extractor at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The structure has also been scaled to 11.424~GHz for the long pulse (100-1500~ns) breakdown study driven by a klystron and a pulse compressor at Tsinghua X-band High Power Test-stand (TPoT-X), with the gradient up to 246~MV/m with 200~MW input power.

  The short-pulse two-beam acceleration approach is a promising candidate to meet the cost and luminosity requirements for future linear colliders. Dielectric-loaded structure has been intensely investigated for this approach because of its low fabrication cost, low RF loss, and potential to withstand GV/m gradient. An X-band 11.7~GHz dielectric-loaded accelerator (DLA) has been designed for high power test with short RF pulses (3~ns) generated from a power extractor driven by high charge bunches at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The gradient is expected to be over 100~MV/m with the maximum input power of 400~MW.

  Temporally shaped laser pulses are desirable in various applications including emittance reduction and beam-driven acceleration. Pulse shaping techniques enable flexible controls over the longitudinal distribution of electron bunches emitted from the photocathode. While direct manipulation and measurement of an ultrashort pulse can be challenging in the time domain, both actions can be performed in the frequency domain. In this paper, we report the study and development of laser shaper and diagnostics at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). Simulations of the shaping process for several sought-after shapes are presented along with the temporal diagnosis. Status of the experiment at the AWA facility is also discussed.

Systematic differences between the linear and nonlinear regimes of plasma wakefield acceleration from electron beams are manifested in the plasma response. Typically, the ratio of peak beam density to nominal plasma density determines operation in the linear or nonlinear regime. Previous reports have shown that a the cross-over into the nonlinear regime is associated with an increase in the wakefield amplitude, as well as sawtooth-like shape. In this paper, we present preliminary measurements of quasi-nonlinear wakefields driven by a linearly ramped beam, with a maximum charge close to the unperturbed plasma density. We also demonstrate nonlinear wakefield behavior in a probe bunch using a single shot, multi-period wakefield measurement and its dependency on plasma density.

Beam position monitor (BPM) is widely used in accelerator facilities worldwide. It is a device which is capable of providing, non-destructively, accurate beam centroid and charge information of a passing charged beam. A typical BPM system contains customized hardware and specialized processing electronics. The cost is often too high for small facilities to afford them. As a small facility, Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) decided to develop a solution with high cost-efficiency to fit in its budget. Some details about the development are presented in this paper.

Emittance exchange (EEX) provides a powerful method of controlling the longitudinal phase space using the relatively simpler methods of transverse control. An EEX beamline was installed at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility in 2015. Several experiments important to the wakefield acceleration, such as a high transformer ratio from shaped bunches, have already been demonstrated. We are currently developing several applications of the EEX beamline including temporal profile shaping, THz radiation generation, time-energy correlation control, diagnostic uses of EEX etc. We will present the on-going EEX program for longitudinal phase space control taking place at the AWA facility, and discuss recently discovered new opportunities.
