The advent of c-band and x-band technology has made it possible to reduce the footprint of linear accelerators. Additionally, for industrial systems a more compact linac is enabling technology for burgeoning applications in security and defense. A key aspect to operating these machines in an industrial environments is stabilization of the amplitude and phase signals for the cavities. In this poster we present the design and recent results for a LLRF and pulse-to-pulse correction scheme utilizing an RFSoC based FPGA system.

The Cool Copper Collider (C3) is an advanced accelerator concept for a e+ e- linear collider that utilizes a cryogenically-cooled copper accelerator technology. The C3 linac is envisioned to accelerate e+ and e- beams from 10 GeV to 125 GeV for a 250 GeV center of mass collisions. To reach the target luminosity, emittance has to be preserved through the whole main linac, taking into account alignment and vibration errors. Here we present the beam dynamics analysis for the C3 main linac. We show the beam dynamics of the main linac and results of the tolerance studies.

The X-band Test Area (XTA) is a test accelerator beamline consisting of a 5.5 cell X-band electron gun followed by a 1-m long X-band linac. It delivers an 85 MeV electron beam up to hundreds of pC. Here we report the beam dynamics studies of XTA to prepare it for THz streaking and silicon carbide irradiation experiments. This paper talks about the requirement and the simulation studies to prepare XTA for both experiments.
