A metamaterial waveguide is proposed for application in a linear accelerator. The waveguide walls are made of a metamaterial that includes complementary split-ring resonators. In such a metamaterial waveguide, the TM-like mode exists and can be excited by the electron bunch. A complementary split-ring resonator is formed by slots in a metallic plate, therefore, this metamaterial waveguide is easy to build. This makes it possible to use in high frequency linear accelerators. The metamaterial waveguide is coupled to single mode rectangular waveguides which can be connected to a microwave network for coupling power into or out of the waveguide. One attractive application of the proposed metamaterial waveguide is in electron beam bunch diagnostics. The metamaterial waveguide is designed using HFSS. The wakefield simulations are carried out using the CST Particle Studio code. The simulations are done for a single bunch as well as for a train of bunches to model the experiment. In this experiment, it is proposed to use the beam line of the Haimson Research Corporation/MIT linear accelerator operating at the frequency of 17.14 GHz.
