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. |

WEPJE020 | The Two Beam Acceleration Staging Experiment at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility | 2714 |
|
||
Funding: DoE SBIR Program Staging, defined as the accelerated bunch in a wakefield accelerator continues to gain energy from sequential drive bunches, is one of the most critical technologies, yet be demonstrated, required to achieve high energy. Using the Two Beam Acceleration (TBA) beamline at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility, we will perform a staging experiment using two X-band TBA units. The experiment is planned to conduct in steps. We report on the most recent progress. |

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. | ||
