A typical accelerating structure is a set of copper resonators brazed together. This multi step process is expensive and time consuming. In an effort to optimize production process for rapid prototyping and overall reduction of accelerator cost we developed a split block brazeless accelerating structure. In such structure the vacuum is sealed by the use of knife edges, similar to an industry standard conflat technology. In this paper we present high power tests of several different brazeless structures. First, an inexpensive 1 MeV accelerator powered by radar magnetron. Second, a high gradient power extractor tested at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility. In this experiment a high charge electron beam generated a 180 MW peak power pulse. Finally, we report on high power testing of a brazeless x-band accelerating structure at SLAC.

  Laser microfabrication allows high precision ablation of materials at sub-mm scale. When laser pulse length is shorter than about 10 picoseconds the heat affected zone is minimized and ablation occurs without melting. Work-pieces processed in this fashion exhibit less structural damage and are expected to have a higher damage thresholds. In this paper we will review several case studies of laser-microfabricated components for accelerator and x-ray applications. Ablated materials include diamond, quartz, tungsten, copper, YAG:Ce and silicon.

  Recently, gradients on the order of 1 GV/m level have been obtained in a form of a single cycle (~1 ps) THz pulses produced by conversion of a high peak power laser radiation in nonlinear crystals (~1 mJ, 1 ps, up to 3% conversion efficiency). Such high-intensity radiation can be utilized for charged particle acceleration. However, these pulses are short in time (~1ps) and broadband, therefore a new accelerating structure type is required. In this paper, we propose a novel structure based on focusing of THz radiation in accelerating cell and stacking such cells to achieve a long-range interaction required for an efficient acceleration process. We present an example in which a 100 microJoule THz pulse produces a 600 keV energy gain in 5 mm long 10 cell accelerating structure for an ultra-relativistic electron. This design can be readily extended to non-relativistic particles. Such structure had been laser microfabricated and appropriate dimensions were achieved.

Side coupled accelerating structures are popular in the industrial realizations of linacs due to their high shunt impedance and ease of tuning. We designed and fabricated a side-coupled X-band accelerating structure that achieved 133 MOhm/m shut impedance. This structure was fabricated out of two halves using a novel brazeless approach. The two copper halves are joined together using a stainless steel joining piece with knife edges that bite into copper. This structure had been tested at high power at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The performance of the structure had been limited by magnetic breakdowns on the side-coupling cells. In this paper we will present results of the high gradient tests and after-test analysis. Scanning electron microscopy images show a typical magnetic-field induced breakdown.

High brightness beams appealing for XFELs and UEM essentially imply a high current and a low emittance. To obtain such beams we propose to raise the accelerating voltage in the gun mitigating repealing Coulomb forces. An ultra-high gradient is achieved utilizing a short-pulse technology. We have designed a room temperature X-band 1,5 cell gun that is able to inject 4 MeV, 100 pC bunches with as low as 0.15 mcm normalized transverse emittance. The gun is operated with as high gradients as 400 MV/m and fed by 200 MW, 10 ns RF pulses generated with Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) power extractor. We report results of low RF power tests, laser alignment test results, and successful gun conditioning results carried out at nominal RF power.

Beam halo measurement is important for novel x-ray free-electron lasers which have remarkably high repetition rate and average power. We propose diamond as a radiation hard material that can be used to measure the flux of passing particles based on a particle-induced conductivity effect. Our diamond electrodeless monitor is based on a microwave measurement of the change in the resonator coupling and eigenfrequency. For measurements, we put a sensitive diamond sample in a resonator that intercepts the halo. By measuring the change in RF properties of the resonator, one can infer the beam halo parameters scanning across the beam to map its transverse distribution. In recent experiments we used a Vertical Beam Test Stand (VBS), delivered DC electron beam of the 20-200 keV energy with the current up to 50 µA, to characterize several diamond samples. We have designed and fabricated a scanning diamond monitor, based on an X-band resonator, which was tested at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) with a multi-MeV electron beam.
