Funding: U.S. DOE SBIR grant DE-FG02-05ER84370 An X-band Traveling wave Deflector mode cavity (XTD) has been developed and fabricated at Radiabeam Technologies to perform longitudinal characterization of the sub-picosecond ultra-relativistic electron beams. The device is optimized for the 100 MeV electron beam parameters at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and is scalable to higher energies. An XTD is designed to operate at 11.424 GHz, and features short filling time, femtosecond resolution, and a small footprint. RF design, structure fabrication, cold testing results and commissioning plans are presented. |

THPPC047 | Fabrication and Initial Tests of an Ultra-High Gradient Compact S-Band (HGS) Accelerating Structure | 3392 |

Funding: Work supported by US DOE grant # DE-SC000866. RadiaBeam Technologies reports on the RF design and fabrication of a ultra-high gradient (50 MV/m) S-Band accelerating structure (HGS) operating in the pi-mode at 2.856 GHz. The compact HGS structure offers a drop-in replacement for conventional S-Band linacs in research and industrial applications such as drivers for compact light sources, medical and security systems. The electromagnetic design (optimization of the cell shape in order to maximize RF efficiency and minimize surface fields at very high accelerating gradients) has been carried out with the codes HFSS and SuperFish while the thermal analysis has been performed by using the code ANSYS. The initial cold tests are presented together with the plans for high-power tests currently ongoing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). |
