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.

  A comprehensive set of graphical user interfaces is being developed for the drive laser of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) facility at Fermilab. These interfaces have been designed in Synoptic, a Java-based GUI development platform with credential-dependent access to the Fermilab accelerator controls network. Such implementation facilitates the user's ability to monitor and control many aspects of the drive laser system in an intuitive environment, as well as timely updates on the part of the developers made necessary by the evolving drive laser system. Furthermore, the current interface hierarchy readily allows integration into the larger pool of Synoptic applications being developed for other subsystems at ASTA.
