MO3A02 | Achievement of Small Beam Size at ATF2 Beamline | optics, sextupole, laser, simulation | 27 |
|
|||
The beam commissioning of the ATF2 facility at KEK - a 1.3 GeV prototype of the compact local chromaticity correction final focus system for the linear collider - achieved 44nm beam size, very close to ideal expected size of 37nm, by developing various knobs and improving the performances of the interferometric Shintake monitor at the same time. These results have opened the way to reliable and predictable operation of the linear collider. | |||

MOOP09 | Dielectric and THz Acceleration (Data) Programme at the Cockcroft Institute | acceleration, laser, electron, accelerating-gradient | 62 |
|
|||
Funding: This work has been funded by STFC Normal conducting RF systems are currently able to pro-vide gradients of around 100 MV/m, limited by break-down on the metallic structures. The breakdown rate is known to scale with pulse length and, in conventional RF systems, this is limited by the filling time of the RF struc-ture. Progressing to higher frequencies, from RF to THz and optical, can utilise higher gradient structures due to the fast filling times. Further increases in gradient may be possible by replacing metallic structures with dielectric structures. The DATA programme at the Cockcroft Insti-tute is investigating concepts for particle acceleration with laser driven THz sources and dielectric structures, beam driven dielectric and metallic structures, and optical and infrared laser acceleration using grating and photonic structures. A cornerstone of the programme is the VELA and CLARA electron accelerator test facility at Daresbury Laboratory which will be used for proof-of-principle experiments demonstrating particle acceleration. |

MOPLR004 | Development of an High Gradient, S-band, Accelerating Structure for the FERMI Linac | linac, quadrupole, operation, electron | 136 |
|
|||
The FERMI seeded free-electron laser (FEL), located at the Elettra laboratory in Trieste, is driven by a 200 meter long, S-band linac routinely operated at nearly 1.5 GeV and 10 Hz repetition rate [1]. The high energy part of the Linac is equipped with seven, 6 meter long Backward Traveling Wave (BTW) structures: those structures have small iris radius and a nose cone geometry which allows for high gradient operation [2]. Nonetheless a possible development of high-gradient, S-band accelerating struc-tures for the replacement of the actual BTW structures is under consideration. This paper investigates a possible solution for RF couplers that could be suitable for linac driven FEL where reduced wakefields effects, high oper-ating gradient and very high reliability are required. | |||

MOPLR031 | Wakefield Analysis of Superconducting RF-Dipole Cavities | cavity, impedance, HOM, dipole | 206 |
|
|||
RF-dipole crabbing cavities are being considered for a variety of crabbing applications. Some of the applications are the crabbing cavity systems for LHC High Luminosity Upgrade and the proposed Electron-Ion Collider for Jefferson Lab. The design requirements in the current applications require the cavities to incorporate complex damping schemes to suppress the higher order modes that may be excited by the high intensity proton or electron beams traversing through the cavities. The number of cavities required to achieve the desired high transverse voltage, and the complexity in the cavity geometries also contributes to the wakefields generated by beams. This paper characterizes the wakefield analysis for single cell and multi-cell rf-dipole cavities. | |||

MOP106002 | X-Band Photonic Band Gap Accelerating Structures with Improved Wakefield Suppression | HOM, dipole, acceleration, electron | 307 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of High Energy Physics. We present the design of a novel photonic band gap (PBG) accelerating structure with elliptical rods and improved wakefields suppression. It has been long recognized that PBG structures have great potential in reducing long-range wakefields in accelerators. The first ever demonstration of acceleration in room-temperature PBG structures was conducted at MIT in 2005. The experimental characterization of the wakefield spectrum in a beam test was performed at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility in 2015, and the superior wakefield suppression properties of the PBG structure were demonstrated. In 2013 the team from MIT and SLAC demonstrated that the X-band PBG structures with elliptical rods have reduced breakdown rate compared to PBG structures with round rods, presumably due to the reduced surface magnetic fields. However, the structure with elliptical rods designed by MIT confined the dipole higher order mode in addition to the accelerating mode and thus did not have superior wakefield suppression properties. We demonstrate that PBG resonators can be designed with 40% smaller peak surface magnetic fields while preserving and even improving their wakefield suppression properties as compared to the structure with round rods. The design of the new structure is presented. The structure will be fabricated, tuned, and tested for high gradients and for wakefield suppression. |

THOP11 | Ultra-Short Bunch Electron Injector for Awake | plasma, electron, gun, acceleration | 770 |
|
|||
The proton driven plasma wake field acceleration experiment AWAKE at CERN will start at the end of this year. In 2017 an S-band electron injector producing bunches of a few ps length will be added to probe the wake fields stimulated by a driving proton beam. In the future this electron injector will have to be upgraded to obtain electron bunches with a length of 100 - 200 fs in order to demonstrate injection into a single bucket of the plasma wave and therefore sustainable acceleration with low energy spread. Target bunch parameters for the study are a bunch charge of 100 pC, 100 fs bunch length, an emittance smaller than 2 mm mrad and a beam energy of 100 MeV. The status of a study to achieve these parameters using X-band accelerator hardware and velocity bunching will be presented. | |||
