The structure (with channel width ratio 6:1) is designed to have a maximum transformer ratio of ~12.5:1. It operates mainly in the LSM31 mode (~ 30GHz). The dielectric liner is cordierite (dielectric constant ~4.76). The acceleration gradient is 1.2 MV/m for each 10nC of the drive bunch for the first acceleration peak of the wakefield, and 0.92 MV/m for the second peak. The structure is installed into the AWA beam-line (Argonne National Lab) and is excited by a single 10-50nC, 14MeV drive bunch. Both the drive bunch and a delayed witness bunch are produced at the same photocathode. This is the first experiment to test a two-channel dielectric rectangular wakefield device where the accelerated bunch may be continuously energized by the drive bunch. The immediate experimental objective is to observe the energy gain and spread, and thereby draw conclusions from the experimental results and the theory model predictions. The observed energy change of the test bunch might be well explained. G. V. Sotnikov, et al., Advanced Accelerator Concepts: 13th Workshop, Carl B.
