MOPLB05 | Applications of Compact Dielectric-Based Accelerators | 150 |
|
||
Important progress on the development of dielectric based accelerators has been made experimentally and theoretically in the past few years. One advantage of dielectric accelerators over the metallic counterparts is its compact size, which may attract some applications in industrial or medical accelerators. In this article, we discuss the design and technologies of dielectric based accelerators toward these needs. | ||

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. Electron beam driven wakefield acceleration is a bona fide path to reach high gradient acceleration of electrons and positrons. With the goal of demonstrating the feasibility of this concept with realistic parameters, well beyond a proof-of-principle scenario, the AWA Facility is currently undergoing a major upgrade that will enable it to achieve accelerating gradients of hundreds of MV/m and energy gains on the order of 100 MeV per structure. A key aspect of the studies and experiments carried out at the AWA facility is the use of relatively short RF pulses (15 – 25 ns), which is believed to mitigate the risk of breakdown and structure damage. The upgraded facility will utilize long trains of high charge electron bunches to drive wakefields in the microwave range of frequencies (8 to 26 GHz), generating RF pulses with GW power levels. |
