Acceleration of charged particles by wakefields, excited by a drive electron bunch in the dielectric waveguide, is a perspective method in accelerator physics. We have previously proposed using plasma, filling the drift channel of the dielectric structure (DS), for focusing of the accelerated bunch*. The analytical expressions, obtained for the components of the electromagnetic field, considered only the propagating wake field, and did not consider quasi-static fields of electron bunches that are important for calculating bunches dynamics. In this paper we report the result of numerical calculations of the influence of quasistatic field of bunches on focusing by wake fields in the plasma-dielectric accelerator. We refine analytical expressions for the electromagnetic field by adding components of bunch quasi-static fields and show the correlation of total force and their quasi-static components.

The scheme of a two-beam accelerator type is considered that is based on wakefield excitation in rectangular dielectric resonator by a sequence of electron bunches with the aim to enhance wakefield intensity due to multi-bunch coherent excitation, multi-mode summation, and wakefield accumulation in resonator. The sequence of bunches can be divided into exciting and accelerated parts in any proportion by means at the proper detuning of bunch repetition frequency relative to the frequency of principle eigen mode of the resonator. A train of 6000 electron bunches, each of energy 4.5МeV, charge 0.16nC, duration 60psec, diameter 1.0cm, and angular spread 0.05 mrad is produced with the linear resonant accelerator. Bunch repetition frequency is 2805 MHz and can be varied within 2MHz by changing master oscillator frequency. Bunches are injected into copper rectangular waveguide of cross-section 8.5x18.0cm2 and length 75cm along wide sides of which Teflon plates are placed. The plate thickness is chosen 1.67cm so that the frequency of excited eigen mode coincides with bunch repetition frequency.

We, at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology, planned experimental test of the basic principles of the multi-bunch multi-mode wakefield accelerator. For this purpose we carried out a series of calculations of wakefield excitation and dynamics of the drive and witness bunches in rectangular structures with a dielectric substrate. For optimization two rectangular vacuum waveguides of R32 (72.14mm x 34.04mm) and R26 (86.36mm x 43.18mm) which were filled with the dielectric covering two any opposite metal walls of a waveguide were chosen. As possible dielectric Alumina, Cordierite, or Teflon were tested. It was supposed that the structure will be energized by sequence of electron bunches (bunch repetition frequency is 2.805 GHz), having energy of 4.5 MeV. As the candidate for operating mode LSM-wave or LSE-wave, with frequency to equal the bunch repetition frequency or its doubled frequency were tested. The gradient of an accelerating field, small transverse deflection (or divergence) of drive and witness bunches were the main criteria of optimization. As a result of optimization we propose some dielectric structures for future wakefield experiments in KIPT.
