We report on the development of the diagnostic system for the ongoing upgrade to the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility where the electron drive beam energy will be increased from 15 to 75 MeV. The facility will produce a wide dynamic range of drive bunch train formats ranging from a single microbunch of 100 pC to bunch trains of up to 32 bunches spaced by 769 ps with up to 100 nC per bunch. In addition to standard diagnostics, this drive bunch train format poses two challenges for the diagnostic system: (i) the close spacing of the drive bunches, 769 ps, makes resolving the individual pulses difficult and (ii) the dynamic range of the bunch charge varies by x1000. A critical parameter of the drive bunch train for the wakefield accelerator is the charge along the train. To measure this, we are planning to use a 15 GHz digital oscilloscope to read either a BPM or Bergoz FCT. To handle the large dynamic range of charge, the imaging system will make use of GigE Vision cameras and a distributed system of motorized lenses, with remote control of focus, zoom, and aperture, which are operated through terminal servers and RS232 controllers.

We report observation of a strong wakefield induced energy modulation in an energy-chirped electron bunch passing through a terahertz dielectric-lined waveguide. This modulation can be effectively converted into a spatial modulation by means of a chicane, forming micro-bunches (density modulation) with a periodicity of 0.5 - 1 picosecond, hence capable of driving coherent THz radiation. The experimental results agree well with theoretical predictions.

We report an observation of de-chirping of a linearly chirped (in energy) electron bunch by its passage through a 5 cm long dielectric loaded waveguide structure. The experiment was conducted at the ATF facility at BNL according to a concept dubbed a wakefield silencer originally developed at the ANL AATF*, which involves defining the electron bunch peak current distribution and selecting the optimal waveguide structure suitable for chirp cancellation using self-induced wakefields of the electron bunch. Our experiment has been carried out with a 247 micron triangular beam with a 200 keV energy spread, which was reduced by a factor of three to approximately 70 keV by passing it through a 0.95 THz dielectric-lined structure. Theoretical analysis supports the experimental results. Further exploration and applications of this technique will be discussed as well.

In general, a high gradient is desirable for future linear collider designs because it can reduce the total linac length. More importantly, the efficiency and the cost to sustain the high gradient should also be considered in the optimization process of an overall design. In this article, we explore a parametric territory of short rf pulse, high group velocity, high frequency, and high gradient, etc., that may lead to an affordable high energy linear collider in the future.

An 11.4 GHz standing wave dielectric loaded accelerating structure was recently developed. We expect to achieve a 120 MV/m gradient powered by a 10 MW 200 ns rf pulse from the X-band Magnicon at the Naval Research Laboratory. The structure uses on-axis rf coupling, which helps to localize the maximum EM fields within the dielectric region. Bench testing shows excellent agreement with the simulation results. The high power rf test is scheduled for January 2012.

Research at the AWA Facility has been focused on the development of electron beam driven wakefield structures. Accelerating gradients of up to 100 MV/m have been excited in dielectric loaded cylindrical structures operating in the microwave range of frequencies. Several upgrades, presently underway, will enable the facility to explore higher accelerating gradients, and also be able to generate longer RF pulses of higher intensity. The upgraded 75 MeV drive beam will consist of bunch trains of up to 32 bunches spaced by 0.77 ns with up to 100 nC per bunch. The RF pulses generated by the drive bunches are expected to reach GW power levels, establishing accelerating gradients of hundreds of MV/m.

Diamond has been proposed as a dielectric material for dielectric loaded accelerating (DLA) structures. It has a very low microwave loss tangent, the highest available thermoconductive coefficient and high RF breakdown field. In this paper we report results from a wakefield breakdown test of diamond-loaded rectangular accelerating structure. The high charge beam from the AWA linac (~70 nC, σz = 2.5mm) will be passed through a rectangular diamond - loaded resonator and induce an intense wakefield. A groove is cut on the diamond to enhance the field. Electric fields up to 0.5 GV/m will be present on the diamond surface to attempt to initiate breakdown. A surface analysis of the diamond is be performed before and after the beam test.

We have directly measured the mm-wave wake fields induced by subpicosecond, intense relativistic electron bunches in a diamond loaded accelerating structure via the dielectric wake-field acceleration mechanism. Fields produced by a first, drive, beam were used to accelerate a second, witness, electron bunch which followed the driving bunch at an adjustable distance. The energy gain of the witness bunch as a function of its separation from the drive bunch is a direct measurement of the wake potential. We also present wakefield mapping results for THz quartz structures. In this case decelerating wake inside the bunch is inferred from the drive beam energy modulation.

Diamond is being evaluated as a dielectric material for dielectric loaded accelerating structures. It has a very low microwave loss tangent, high thermal conductivity, and supports high RF breakdown fields. We report on progress in fabricating chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond materials for cylindrical dielectric structures for use in wakefield particle accelerators. Tubes with inner diameters of 3 and 5 mm have been grown from polycrystalline CVD diamond on mandrels using microwave plasma assisted CVD. The material has been laser trimmed to the desired thicknesses and lengths. In addition, structures with smaller inner diameters (ca. 0.3 mm) have been laser machined from blocks of single crystal diamond grown by CVD. Rectangular (planar) dielectric structures have been constructed from plates of polished CVD diamond. Wakefields in these structures have been studied at the Brookhaven ATF.

Recent advances in ferroelectric ceramics have resulted in new possibilities for nonlinear devices for particle accelerator and rf applications. The new FACET (Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests) at SLAC provides an opportunity to use the GV/m fields from its intense short pulse electron beams to perform experiments using the nonlinear properties of ferroelectrics. Simulations of Cherenkov radiation in the THz planar and cylindrical nonlinear structures to be used in FACET experiments will be presented. Signatures of nonlinearity are clearly present in the simulations: superlinear scaling of field strength with beam intensity, frequency upshift, and development of higher frequency spectral components.

  High frequency, high power rf sources are required for many applications. Benefiting from the ~10 GW beam power provided by the high current linac at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility, we propose to develop a series of high power rf sources based on the extraction of coherent Cherenkov radiation from the relativistic electron beam. The frequencies cover from C-band up to W-band with different structures. Simulations show that ~1 GW 20 ns rf pulse can be generated for an 11.7 GHz structure, ~400 MW for a 26 GHz structure, and ~14 MW for a 91 GHz structure.
