A new S-Band photoinjector is being developed at UCLA that will feature a large accelerating gradient at 160 MeV/m creating a beam with approximately 6.5 MeV at the exit. Because of the large accelerating gradient and other considerations, such as cooling and manufacturing, the new Supergun will be coupled into using a coaxial method, rather than side coupling. With the large accelerating gradient we hope to create very low emittance beams on the order of 0.025 mm mrad. These beams can then be used for a number of purposes, mainly for high quality beams used in FELs. Electric simulations have been done using HFSS and Superfish. Heating and mechanical simulations were done using Ansys. Finally, beam simulations were completed with GPT.

It is generally agreed that the best way forward for beam driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is in the nonlinear or blowout regime. In this regime the expulsion of the plasma electrons from the beam occupied region produces a linear transverse focusing effect and position independent longitudinal accelerating fields, which can, in principle, produce high quality beams accelerated over many meters. However, certain aspects of a linear plasma response can be advantageous, such as the possibility for resonant excitation of wakefields through the use of pulse trains. Exploiting advantages of both linear and nonlinear PWFA may be achievable through the use of low emittance and tightly focused beams with relatively small charge. In this case the beam density can be greater than that of the ambient plasma while simultaneously having a smaller total charge than the plasma electrons contained in a cubic plasma skin depth allowing for blowout in the region of the beam while simultaneously maintaining a quasi linear response in the bulk plasma. Recent experiments at BNL have been aimed at probing various salient aspects of this regime and are presented here.

Recent experimental measurements of the energy lost to wakefields in a dielectric lined waveguide are presented. These measurements demonstrate average decelerating gradients on the order of >1 GV/m, for two different structures. The measurements were made at the Facility for Advanced aCcelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) at SLAC National Laboratory using sub-millimeter diameter fifteen-centimeter long quartz fibers of annular cross section. The unique extremely short, high charge, ultra relativistic beam at FACET (200 fs, 3 nC, 20 GeV) allows the use of dielectric wakefield structures of unprecedented size and length. In addition to experimental results, we support conclusions with simulation and theoretical work. This measurement builds on a large body of work previously performed using dielectric wakefield structures in an effort to provide high gradient accelerating structures for tomorrows linear colliders.
