A high-gradient X-band (11.7-GHz) photoinjector developed by Euclid Techlabs, was recently commissioned at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The system comprises a 1+1/2-cell RF gun powered by short RF pulses generated as a train of high-charge bunches from the AWA accelerator passes through a slow-wave power extraction and transfer structure. The RF photoinjector was reliably operating with electric fields in excess of 300 MV/m on the photocathode surface free of breakdown and with an insignificant dark-current level. We report on the RF-gun setup, commissioning, and the associated beam generation via photoemission.

Particle beams with highly asymmetric emittance ratios, or flat beams, are employed at accelerator facilities such as the AWA and foreseen at FACET-II. Flat beams have been used to drive wakefields in dielectric structures and are an ideal candidate for high-gradient wakefields in plasmas. The high aspect ratio produces a blowout region that is elliptical in cross section and this asymmetry in the ion column structure creates asymmetric focusing in the two transverse planes. The ellipticity of the plasma blowout decreases as the normalized peak current increases, and gradually approaches an axisymmetric column. An appropriate matching condition for the beam envelope inside the elliptical blowout is introduced. Simulations are performed to investigate the ellipticity of the resultant wakefield based on the initial drive beam parameters, and are compared to analytical calculations. The parameter space for two cases at the AWA and FACET facilities, with requirements for plasma profile and achievable fields, is presented.

  High gradient acceleration is one of the critical technologies required by future linear colliders, free-electron lasers, and compact linac-based applications. Among decade long effort to break state-of-the-art gradient limitation of ~100 MV/m in normal conducting structures, using RF pulses shorter than 20 ns is a promising approach based on theoretic analysis and experimental observation. In this study, we demonstrated high gradient above 300 MV/m using an X-band 11.7 GHz single-cell travelling-wave structure with 6 ns FWHM RF pulses generated by a power extractor. In comparison, a scaled 11.424 GHz structure only reached below 150 MV/m driven by 30-100 ns RF pulses from a klystron with pulse compression. The experimental results and the suggested new mechanism of beam acceleration in the Breakdown Insensitive Acceleration Regime (BIAR) are presented in this manuscript.
