The commissioning of the upgraded AWA facility is well underway. The new L-band electron gun has been fully commissioned and has been successfully operated with its Cesium Telluride photocathode at a gradient of 80 MV/m. Single bunches of up to 100 nC, and bunch trains of four bunches with up to 80 nC per bunch have been generated. The six new accelerating cavities (L-band, seven cells, pi mode) have been RF conditioned to 12 MW or more; their operation at 10 MW brings the beam energy up to 75 MeV. Measurements of the beam parameters are presently underway, and the use of this intense beam to drive high gradient wakefields will soon follow. One of the main goals of the facility is to generate RF pulses with GW power levels, corresponding to accelerating gradients of hundreds of MV/m and energy gains on the order of 100 MeV per structure.

  A laser triggered RF breakdown experiment was carried out with an S-band photocathode gun at Tsinghua University for attempting understanding of the RF breakdown processes. By systematic measurement of the time dependence of the breakdown current at the gun exit and the stored RF energy in the cavity, one might gain insight into the time evolution of RF breakdown physics. A correlation of the stored energy and field emission current has been analysed with an equivalent circuit model. Experimental details and analysis methods are reported.

  RF breakdown in high gradient accelerating structures is a fundamental problem that is still needed better understanding. Past studies have indicated that field emission, which is usually represented by electric field enhancement (i.e. β) produced from the Fowler-Nordheim plot, is strongly coupled to the breakdown problem. A controlled surface study using a high gradient L-band RF gun is being carried out. With a flat cathode, the maximum electric field on the surface reached 103 MV/m. And electric field as high as 565 MV/m on the surface was achieved by a pin-shaped cathode. The field enhancement factor was measured at different surface field during the conditioning process. Initial results of the study are presented in this paper.

  The RF cavity performance in solenoid magnetic field is crucial for the muon ionization cooling. Previous experiments have shown that the strong external magnetic field can significantly lower the maximum achievable RF voltage in the cavity. The mechanism of this performance degradation has been studied both analytically and experimentally, but so far no conclusive cause has been determined yet. In this paper, we propose an experiment to study the effect of a static B field on the field emission in the RF cavity, which hasn't been investigated before, and which can contribute to the cavity performance degradation in the solenoid field.
