TI - Commissioning and Recent Experimental Results at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The commissioning of the upgraded AWA facility has been recently completed. The 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 up to 32 bunches have been generated. The six new pi-mode accelerating cavities bring the beam energy to 75 MeV. Initial measurements of the beam parameters have been performed. This intense beam has been used to drive high gradient wakefields in several structures. A second beamline provides electron bunches to probe the wakefields generated by the intense drive beam. One of the main goals of the facility is to generate short 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.
