Funding: DOE SBIR Significant progress has been made in the development of high gradient rf driven dielectric accelerating structures (DLA). One principal effect limiting further advances in this technology is the problem of multipactor. The fraction of the power absorbed at saturation in DLA experiments was found to increase with the incident power, with more than 30% of the incident power per unit length being absorbed. We studied a possibility of multipactor mitigation by introduction of surface grooves (transverse and longitudinal) to interrupt the resonant trajectories of electrons in the multipactor discharge. Four DLA structures based on quartz tubes with transverse and longitudinal grooves of various dimensions were designed. In this paper we report simulation results and plans for high-power tests of these structures. |
