Funding: Work supported by the EU under grant agreement 624890, the STFC Cockcroft Institute Core Grant No. ST/G008248/1. Exact knowledge of beam emittance is of central importance for essentially every accelerator. However, there are only few methods to determine it when the beam has significant space charge. We report on our progress to validate a novel diagnostic method that has been proposed to determine the RMS emittance of an electron beam with space charge. This method uses RMS divergence and beam size data measured at a screen placed in a free drift region for selected values of magnetic focusing strength. A novel algorithm is then used to determine the cross correlation term and consequently the RMS emittance of the beam. Simulations, quadrupole scans, phase space tomography and optical diffraction-dielectric foil radiation interferometry are currently being employed to determine and compare the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) emittances of the 14 MeV witness electron beam at Argonne National Laboratory's Wakefield Accelerator. The results of simulations and current measurements are presented and the advantages of the new technique are discussed. |

TUPAB074 | Measurements of Thermal Emittance for Cesium Telluride Photocathodes in an L-Band RF Gun | 1491 |
|
||
The thermal emittance is a major contributor to the final emittance of an electron beam in a photocathode RF gun. In this paper we present measurement results of thermal emittance for the cesium telluride photocathode at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility using the quadrupole scan method. Measurements of the thermal emittance vs. the laser spot size are presented. | ||

WEPAB132 | Research Program and Recent Results at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) | 2885 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 We give an overview of the research program at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA), including some highlights of recent experiments. 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 |

WEPVA022 | RECENT TWO-BEAM ACCELERATION ACTIVITIES AT ARGONNE WAKEFIELD ACCELERATOR FACILITY | 3305 |
|
||
The Two-Beam Acceleration (TBA) is a modified approach to the structure-based wakefield acceleration which may meet the luminosity, efficiency, and cost requirement of a future linear collider. Recently, various TBA experiments have been carried out at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA). With X-band metallic power extractors and accelerators, a 70 MeV/m average accelerating gradient has been demonstrated in two stages while a 150 MeV/m gradient as well as 300 MW extracted power have been achieved in a single stage. In addition, low cost K-band dielectric power extractor and accelerator have also been developed. The preliminary results show power extraction of 55 MW and an average accelerating gradient of 28 MeV/m. | ||

Funding: DE-SC0015479, DE-AC02-06CH11357, DE-AC02-06CH11357 Model-based, trust-region, derivative-free algorithms are increasingly popular for optimizing computationally expensive numerical simulations. A strength of such methods is their efficient use of function evaluations. In this paper, we use one such algorithm to optimize the beam dynamics in two cases of interest at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. First, we minimize the emittance of the electron bunch produced by the AWA drive rf photocathode gun alone by adjusting three parameters: rf gun phase, solenoid strength, and laser radius. The algorithm used converges to a set of parameters with an emittance of 1.08 mm-mrad. Second, we expand the number of optimization parameters to model the complete AWA rf photoinjector linac (the gun and six accelerating cavities). These results are used in a Pareto study of the trade-off between beam emittance and bunch length for the AWA linac. |
