The AWA facility is dedicated to the study of beam physics and the development of technology for future particle accelerators. Two independent electron linacs are used to study wakefield acceleration: 70 MeV high charge electron bunches of up to 100 nC are used to drive wakefields, which can be probed by bunches originating from the same linac or from the 15 MeV linac. Recent Two-Beam-Acceleration (TBA) experiments operating at 11.7 GHz reached accelerating gradients of up to 150 MV/m. No indication of witness beam quality degradation was observed, and bunch charge was preserved during the acceleration process. Two identical TBA setups were used in series in order to demonstrate staging capabilities. Dielectric loaded structures operating at 26 GHz are also used in TBA experiments. Another main thrust of the research program consists of exploring and developing techniques to manipulate the phase space of electron bunches. These efforts include bunch shaping and the exchange of emittances in the transverse and the longitudinal phase spaces PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 2885 EP - 2887 KW - wakefield KW - experiment KW - electron KW - emittance KW - acceleration DA - 2017/05 PY - 2017 SN - 978-3-95450-182-3 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-IPAC2017-WEPAB132 UR - http://jacow.org/ipac2017/papers/wepab132.pdf ER -
