We present an update on the 2.1 GHz superconducting rf (SRF) photonic band gap (PBG) resonator experiment in Los Alamos. The SRF PBG cell was designed to operate at 2.1 GHz. PBG cells have great potential for outcoupling long-range wakefields in SRF accelerator structures without affecting the fundamental accelerating mode. Using PBG structures in superconducting particle accelerators will allow operation at higher frequencies and moving forward to significantly higher beam luminosities thus leading towards a completely new generation of colliders for high energy physics. However, the technology of fabrication of PBG accelerator cells from niobium has not been well developed to date. Here we report the results of our efforts to fabricate a 2.1 GHz PBG cell and to test it at high gradients in a liquid helium bath at the temperature of 2 Kelvin. The high gradient performance of the cell will be evaluated and the results will be compared to simulations with the CST Microwave Studio.

We present a design of a superconducting photonic band gap (PBG) accelerator cell operating at 2.1 GHz. The cell is designed with the PBG rods that are specially shaped to reduce the peak magnetic fields and at the same time to preserve its effectiveness for suppression of the higher order modes (HOMs). It has been long recognized that PBG structures have great potential in reducing and even completely eliminating HOMs in accelerators. This is especially beneficial for superconducting electron accelerators for high power free-electron lasers (FELs), which are intended to provide high current continuous duty electron beams. Using PBG structures to reduce the prominent beam-breakup phenomena due to HOMs will allow significantly increased beam-breakup thresholds, and consequently will allow the increase of the frequency of SRF accelerators and the development of novel compact high-current accelerator modules for FELs. High gradient limitations of PBG resonators and the optimal arrangement of the wakefield couplers will be discussed in details in this presentation.
