Pre-bunching a beam at a resonance condition with an accelerating structure vastly improves performance of beam-driven accelerators and undulators since it enhances a beam-wave coupling. We plan to test a slit-mask micro-buncher at the chicane of Fermilab-ASTA 50 MeV beamline in the effort of advanced accelerator research. With the chicane design parameters (bending angle (alpha) of 18 degree, R56 ~ - 0.18 m, and bending radius of ~ 0.78 m), analytic model showed that a slit-mask with W (period) = 900 um and a (aperture width) = 300 um (30 % transparency) generates 100 um spaced micro-bunches with 5 ~ 6 % correlated energy spread. Two kinds of combined beamline simulation, CST-PS+Impact-Z and Elegant+Shower, including space charge and CSR effects, showed that a 900 um spaced, 300 um wide slits placed in the middle of chicane splits 20 pC – 1 nC bunches into ~ 100 um spaced micro-bunches. It is possible that a further optimization of mask design creates sub-100 fs micro-bunches, which is currently under development.

The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) is under construction at Fermilab. This accelerator will consist of a photo-electron gun, injector, ILC-type cryomodules, and multiple downstream beam-lines. Its purpose is to be a user-based facility for Advanced Accelerator R&D. . Following the successful commissioning of the photoinjector gun, a Tesla style 8-cavity cryomodule and a high gradient capture cavity have been cooled down to 2 K and powered commissioning and performance characterization has begun. We will report on the commissioning status and near-term future plans for the facility.
