We designed an experiment to conduct a detailed investigation of higher order mode spectrum in a room-temperature traveling-wave photonic band gap (PBG) accelerating structure at 11.7 GHz. It has been long recognized that PBG structures have great potential in reducing long-range wakefields in accelerators. The first ever demonstration of acceleration in room-temperature PBG structures was conducted at MIT in 2005. Since then, the importance of that device has been recognized by many research institutions. However, the full experimental characterization of the wakefield spectrum in a beam test has not been performed to date. The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) test facility at the Argonne National Laboratory represents a perfect site where this evaluation could be conducted with a single high charge electron bunch and with a train of bunches. Here we describe fabrication and tuning of PBG cells, the final cold-test of the traveling-wave accelerating structure, and the results of the beam testing at AWA.

  We report results of high-gradient testing of the first 5- cell superconducting radio frequency (SRF) module with a photonic band gap cell (PBG). Higher order mode (HOM) damping is vital for preserving the quality of high-current electron beams in novel SRF accelerators. Because HOMs are not confined by the PBG array, they can be effectively damped in order to raise the current threshold for beam instabilities. The PBG design increases the real-estate gradient of the linac because both HOM damping and the fundamental power coupling can be done through the PBG cell instead of via the beam pipe at the ends of the cavity. A superconducting multi-cell cavity with a PBG damping cell is therefore an attractive option for high-current linacs. The first-ever SRF multi-cell cavity incorporating a PBG cell was designed a LANL and built at Niowave Inc. The cavity was tuned to a desired gradient profile and underwent surface treatment at Niowave. A vertical test (VTS) was then performed at LANL, demonstrating an abnormally low cavity quality factor in the accelerating mode of 1.6*106. Future tests are proposed to determine the source of the losses and resolve the problem.

  We report the design and experimental data for a copper prototype of a superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) accelerator module. The five-cell module has an incorporated photonic band gap (PBG) cell with couplers. The purpose of the PBG cell is to achieve better higher order mode (HOM) damping which is vital for preserving the quality of highcurrent electron beams. Better HOM damping raises the current threshold for beam instabilities in novel SRF accelerators. The PBG design also increases the real-estate gradient of the linac because both HOM damping and the fundamental power coupling can be done through the PBG cell instead of on the beam pipe via complicated end assemblies. First, we will discuss the design and accelerating properties of the structure. The five-cell module was optimized to provide good HOM damping while maintaining the same accelerating properties as conventional elliptical-cell modules. We will then discuss the process of tuning the structure to obtain the desired accelerating gradient profile. Finally, we will list measured quality factors for the accelerating mode and the most dangerous HOMs.
