We report on recent Two-Beam-Acceleration (TBA) experiments conducted at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA), which used 70 MeV electron bunches to accelerate a 0.5 nC witness bunch in gradients of up to 150 MV/m. The wakefields were generated by the passage of the 15 - 45 nC drive bunches through iris-loaded metallic structures operating at 11.7 GHz. No indication of witness beam quality degradation was observed, and bunch charge was preserved during the acceleration process. Another series of experiments was conducted using two TBA stages, demonstrating acceleration of the witness beam in these two subsequent stages by means of two independent drive bunch trains.

  A test facility, AWA, has been commissioned and in operation since last year. It can provide beam of several bunches in a train of nano-seconds and 10s of nC with energy up to 70 MeV. In addition, the AWA can accommodate various beamlines for experiments. One of the proposed experiments is to use the AWA beam as a diagnostics for time resolved high density material, typically a target with high Z and time dependent, imaging experiments. When electron beam scatters after passing through the target, and the angular and energy distribution of beam will depend on the density and thickness of the target. A small aperture is used to collimate the scattered electron beam for off axis particles, and the target image will be detected by imaging plate. By measuring the scatted angle and energy at the imaging plate would yield information of the target. In this paper, we report on the AWA electron imaging (EI) system setup, which consist of a target, imaging optics and drift transport. The AWA EI beam line was installed on June, 2016 and the first test run was performed on August, 2016. This work will have implication on the high energy density physics and even future nuclear fusion studies.

The AWA L-band, high-charge photoinjector for the 70 MeV drive beamline has been operating for almost 3 years at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The gun operates at high-field (85 MV/m peak field on the cathode) and has a high quantum efficiency (QE) Cesium telluride photocathode with a large area (30 mm diameter). It produces high-charge, short pulse, single bunches (Q > 100 nC) as well as long bunch-trains (Q > 600 nC) for wakefield experiments (high peak current). During the first two years of operation, photocathode performance was evaluated and areas of improvement were identified. After study, consideration and consultation, steps were taken to improve the performance of the photocathode. So far, in total, three photocathodes have been fabricated on-site, installed and operated in the gun. Improvements made to the photocathode plug, vacuum system, and gun operation are detailed. The results include vastly improved conditioning times, better cathode performance, and QE above 4% for over 11 months.
