| Dielectric loaded wakefield structures have potential to be used as high gradient accelerator components. Using the high current drive beam at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility, we employed cylindrical dielectric loaded wakefield structures to generate accelerating fields of up to 100 MV/m. Short electron bunches (13 ps FWHM) of up to 86 nC are used to drive these fields, either as single bunches or as bunch trains. These recently tested standing-wave structures have a field probe near the outer edge of the dielectric to sample the RF fields generated by the electron bunches. Monitoring of these high intensity RF fields serves to verify the absence of electric breakdown. |
