The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator group (AWA) has been using high Charge bunch-trains (>450 nC) for structure wakefield RF power generation and high power testing (100 s of MW) for many years. These experiments involve fast beam-tuning for high charge transmission through small aperture wakefield structures over a large range of charge levels. The success of these experiments depends on real-time, non-destructive, fast charge measurements with devices that are robust in the high-charge and high-powered RF environment. AWA uses Bergoz Integrating Charge Transformers (ICT) which are ideal for these critical charge measurements. The devices used, the method developed and its application are detailed.

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.

Longitudinal bunch shaping using transverse deflecting cavities (TDC) was recently proposed*. This configuration is well suited for shaping the current profile of high-charge bunches since it does not use dipole magnets, and therefore, is not prone to deleterious effects arising from coherent synchrotron radiation. An intercepting mask located downstream of the first TDC, which introduce a spatiotemporal correlation, transversely shape the beam. Downstream of the second TDC, upon removal of the cross-plane correlation, the bunch is temporally shaped. In this paper, we investigate longitudinal bunch shaping with an X-band TDC powered by an X-band, short-pulse wakefield Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS), where the wakefield from the drive beam propagating through the PETS is the power source. We describe the RF designs of the X-band TDC and the configuration of the overall shaping system. Finally, we explore via beam-dynamics simulations the performances of the proposed shaper and its possible application to various bunch shapes relevant to beam-driven acceleration and coherent radiation generation.

  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.
