MOPJE001 | Effect on Beam Dynamics From Wakefields in Travelling Wave Structure Excited by Bunch Train | 289 |
|
||
Electron bunch train technology is used to excited coherent high power RF radiation in travelling wave (TW) structures. This article concentrates on the analytical expression of wakefields excited by bunch train in TW structures and the effects of wakefields on beam dynamics. We focus on the first monopole mode and the first dipole mode wakefields. The long range wake function has a linear decrease which agrees well with the ABCi simulations. Taking example of the 11.7 GHz wakefields structure at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility, with 1.3 GHz interval drive electron bunch train, we have done the beam dynamics simulation with a point to point (P2P) code. Results shows the effects of wakefields on the energy distribution and the transverse instability for each sub-bunch. | ||

WEPWA035 | Initial EEX-based Bunch Shaping Experiment Results at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility | 2575 |
|
||
Funding: This work is partly supported by POSTECH BK21+ and Argonne National Laboratory A program is under development at Argonne National Laboratory to use an emittance exchange (EEX) beamline to perform longitudinal bunch shaping (LBS). The double dog-leg EEX beamline was recently installed at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) and the goals of the proof-of-principle experiment are to demonstrate LBS and characterize its deformations from the ideal shape due to higher-order and collective effects. The LBS beamline at the AWA consists of insert-able transverse masks mounted on an actuator and four quadrupoles (to manipulate the transverse phase space) before the EEX beamline, which consists of two identical dog-legs and a deflecting cavity. The mask and input beam parameters are varied during the experiment to explore the shaping capability and clarify the deformation sources and their mitigation. Progress on the commissioning of the LBS beamline, initial experimental data and benchmarks to GPT simulations will be presented. |

WEPJE008 | Experimental Study of Wakefields in an X-band Photonic Band Gap Accelerating Structure | 2689 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Early Career Research Program. 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. |

WEPTY013 | Cs2Te Photocathode Performance in the AWA High-charge High-gradient Drive Gun | 3283 |
|
||
Funding: U.S. Dept of Energy Office of Science under contract number DE-AC02-06CH11357 The unique high-charge L-band, 1.3 GHz, 1.5 cell gun for the new 75 MeV drive beam is in operation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility (see M.E. Conde, this proceedings.) The high-field (> 80 MV/m) photoinjector has a large area, high QE Cesium telluride photocathode (diameter > 30 mm). The photocathode, a crucial component of the upgraded facility, is fabricated on-site. The photoinjector generates high-charge, short pulse, single bunches (Q > 100 nC) and long bunch-trains (Q > 600 nC) for wakefield experiments. The performance of the photocathode for the AWA drive gun is detailed. Quantum efficiency (QE) measurements indicate long, stable photocathode lifetime under demanding conditions. |

TUPMA042 | THz Radiation Generation in a Multimode Wakefield Structure | 1929 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the Department of Energy SBIR program under Contract #DE-SC0009571 A number of methods for producing sub-picosecond beam microbunching have been developed in recent years. A train of these bunches is capable of generating THz radiation via multiple mechanisms like transition, Cherenkov and undulator radiation. We utilize a bunch train with tunable spacing to selectively excite high order TM0n - like modes in a multimode structure. In this paper we present experimental results obtained at the Accelerator Test Facility of Brookhaven National Laboratory. |

TUPMA043 | Experimental Test of Semiconductor Dechirper | 1932 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the Department of Energy SBIR program under Contract #DE-SC0006299 We report the observation of de-chirping of a linearly chirped (in energy) electron bunch by its passage through a 4 inch long rectangular waveguide loaded with two silicon bars 0.25 inch thick and 0.5 inch wide. Silicon being a semiconductor has a conductivity that allows it to drain the charge fast in case if some electrons get intercepted by the dechirper. At the same time the conductivity is low enough for the skin depth to be large (on the order of 1 cm) making the silicon loaded waveguide a slow wave structure supporting wakefields that dechirp the beam. |

WEAD1 | Commissioning and Recent Experimental Results at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) | 2472 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. 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. |

WEPMN015 | Dark Current Imaging Experiment in an L-band RF Gun | 2952 |
|
||
The localized high electric field enhancement or low work function is the trigger for strong field emission, which however has yet been well experimentally studied. Using an L-band photocathode gun test stand at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA), we’ve constructed an imaging beam line to observe field emission current from predefined emitters on cathode. Preliminary experiment results are present. Future plan is discussed. | ||

WEPMN016 | Observation of Dark Current Dependence on Stored Energy in an L-Band RF Gun | 2956 |
|
||
A pin cathode has been installed into an L-band photocathode gun to study the influence of stored energy on field emission. The stored energy was varied by tuning the recess of the cathode in order to have the same E-field on the cathode tip. We have observed 5 times difference of dark current level at the same E-field, while by varying the stored energy by three fold. Dynamics study reveals the difference is not caused by transmission, but by emission process itself. We'll present experiment results and discuss possible mechanisms about the phenomena. | ||

WEPMN017 | High Power RF Radiation at W-band Based on Wakefields Excited by Intense Electron Beam | 2960 |
|
||
We report the experiment design and preliminary results on high power RF generation at W-band based on coherent wakefields from the metallic periodic structure of 91 GHz PETS (power extraction and transfer structure), excited by intense electron beam at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The recently output RF power is 0.7 MW, with 67 MeV, 1.4 nC single electron beam going through the structure. The RF pulse length is 3.4 ns. We measure the energy loss of electron beam as reference to the RF generation, which agrees well with the simulation results. Next run is to increase the output RF power with higher charge and to excite coherent wakefields with electron bunch train. The output RF peak power is expected to be ~100 MW and the electrical field gradient can reach up to 400 MV/m, with RF pulse duration adjustable from few ns to 30 ns when excited with 5~10 nC charge in a single bunch and up to 32 sub bunches in total. | ||
