MOPAB151 | A Stable Drive Beam for High Gradient Dielectric Wakefield Acceleration | 528 |
|
||
Funding: Science and Technology Funding Council (STFC) student grant. A high accelerating gradient, with stable beam transport, is necessary for the next generation of particle accelerators. Dielectric wakefield accelerators are a potential solution to this problem. In these proceedings, we present simulation studies of electron bunches in the self-wake regime inside a planar dielectric structure. This is analogous to driving beams in a dielectric wakefield accelerator. The transverse and longitudinal wake fields are investigated for dielectric plate gaps, various transverse beam sizes, and longitudinal bunch profiles. The effects of these on the stability of drive bunches, and acceleration of a witness bunch, are discussed in the context of electron bunches that can be produced with conventional linac RF technology. |

Non Invasive Bunch Length Measurements Exploiting Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation | |
|
||
Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) refers to the emission of broadband electromagnetic radiation which occurs when a charged particle propagates at relativistic speed in the vicinity of a dielectric material. At variance with the better-known Cherenkov radiation, ChDR is a non-invasive technique, that is the particle beam does not impinge on the dielectric radiator. ChDR also possesses other interesting features like a relatively high light yield, a broadband spectrum of emission and the emission at a relatively large angle with respect to the beam trajectory. Due to its potential, CERN initiated over the last few years several studies on ChDR-based diagnostics techniques. In this contribution I will focus on the exploitation of ChDR for non-invasive bunch length measurement, from proof of principle tests performed at the CLEAR facility at CERN and CLARA at Daresbury laboratory to current developments for experiments and facilities such as AWAKE and FCC | ||
