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.

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.

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.

A new S-band photo-cathode (PC) gun was recently installed and RF conditioned at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Injector Test-stand (ITS) at Argonne National Lab (ANL). The APS PC gun is a LCLS type gun fabricated at SLAC [1]. The PC gun was delivered to the APS in October 2013 and installed in the APS ITS in December 2013. At ANL, we developed a new method of fast detection and mitigation of the gun’s internal arcs during the RF conditioning process to protect the gun from arc damage and to RF condition more efficiently. Here, we report the results of RF measurements for the PC gun and an Auto-Restart method for high power RF conditioning.

The advantage of dielectric wakefield accelerators (DWAs) is the ability to achieve accelerating gradients well above the limits of conventional accelerators. However DWAs will also produce high transverse wakefields if the beam propagates off-center, which grow even faster than the accelerating gradient when the width of the beam channel is decreased.* It is highly important to suppress single beam breakup (BBU) instability in order for the beam to propagate long enough so that a reasonable amount of energy (e.g., 80%) from the drive bunch is extracted. In addition bending of the dielectric channel has a similar effect to off-center steering of the beam with the required tolerances on the channel straightness typically in a few micron range. For both rectangular and circular dielectric lined waveguides we use a FODO lattice with a tapered strength for suppression of BBU. We impose initial energy chirp on the drive beam to make use of the BNS damping. We change rectangular waveguide orientation by 90 degrees with a small step to make use of the quadrupole wakefield focusing. These and other techniques and tolerance requirements are discussed and simulation results are presented in this presentation.

  A compact deflecting cavity is needed for the Short Pulse X-rays (SPX) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Argonne national laboratory. The deflecting cavity has to quite efficient providing a 2 MV kick voltage and satisfying stringent requirements on aperture size and total cavity length. Meanwhile, the cavity should allow operation up to 100 mT peak surface magnetic field before quenching. In this paper, we report on the latest analysis carried out on the cavity structure to investigate frequency sensitivity to pressure fluctuations, frequency sensitivity to tuning forces, modal frequency, and wakefield losses.
