  A compact wakefield accelerator is being developed at the Argonne National Laboratory for a future multiuser x-ray free electron laser facility. A cylindrical structure with a 2 mm internal diameter and fine corrugations on the wall will be used to create Čerenkov radiation. A "drive" bunch producing radiation at 180 GHz will create accelerating gradients on the order of 100 MV/m for the "witness" bunch. The corrugated structure will be approximately half meter long with the entire accelerator spanning a few tens of meters. An ultra-compact transition region between each corrugated structure has been designed to accommodate an output coupler, a notch filter, an integrated offset monitor, bellows, pumping and water cooling ports. The output coupler will extract on the order of a kilowatt of power from the Čerenkov radiation unused by the witness bunch. The integrated offset monitor is a novel diagnostic which will measure the cumulative offset of the electron beam in the corrugated structure upstream of the monitor. The specific details of the rf design will be presented here.

Argonne National Laboratory is developing a 180 GHz wakefield structure that will house in a co-linear array of accelerators to produce free-electron laser-based X-rays. The proposed corrugated waveguide structure will be fabricated on the internal wall of 0.5m long and 2mm nominal diameter copper tube. The estimated dimensions of these parallel corrugations are 200 µm in pitch with 100 µm side length (height and width). The length scale of the structure and requirements of the magnetic field-driven dimensional tolerances have made the structure challenging to produce. We have employed several method such as optical lithography, electroforming, electron discharge machining, laser ablation, and stamping to produce the initial structure from a sheet form. The successive fabrication steps, such as bending, brazing, and welding, were performed to achieve the long tubular-structure. This paper discusses various fabrication techniques, characterization, and associated technical challenges in detail.
