We present experimental studies of metamaterial (MTM) structures for wakefield acceleration. The MTM structure is an all-metal periodic structure with its period much smaller than the wavelength at X-band. The fundamental TM mode has a negative group velocity, so an electron beam traveling through the structure radiates by reversed Cherenkov radiation. Two experiments have been completed at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA), namely the Stage-I and Stage-II experiments. Differences between the two experiments include: (1) Structure length (Stage-I 8 cm, Stage-II 20 cm); (2) Bunch number used to excite the structure (Stage-I up to 2 bunches, Stage-II up to 8 bunches). In the Stage-I experiment, two bunches with a total charge of 85 nC generated 80 MW of RF power in a 2 ns long pulse. In the Stage-II experiment, the highest peak power reached 380 MW in a 10 ns long pulse from a train of 8 bunches with a total charge of 224 nC. Acceleration of a witness bunch has not been demonstrated yet, but the extracted power can be transferred to a separate accelerator for two-beam acceleration or directly applied to a trailing witness bunch in the same structure for collinear acceleration.

We report on the development of multi-beam RF linear ion accelerators that are formed from stacks o low cost wafers. Wafers are prepared using MEMS techniques. We have demonstrated acceleration of ions in a 3x3 beamlet array with ion currents in the 0.1 mA range and acceleration at the 10 keV in lattice of RF (13 MHz) acceleration units and electrostatic quadrupoles. We will describe the status and plans for scaling to 10x10 beams, ion currents >1 mA and ion energies >100 keV in a compact, low cost setup for applications in materials processing.

  The first ever electron cooling based on the RF acceleration of electron bunches was experimentally demonstrated on April 5, 2019 at the Low Energy RHIC Electron Cooler (LEReC) at BNL. The critical step in obtaining successful cooling of the Au ion bunches in the RHIC cooling sections was the accurate matching of average longitudinal velocities of electron and ion beams corresponding to a relative error of less than 5·10-4 in the e-beam momentum. Since the electron beam kinetic energy is just 1.6 MeV, measuring the absolute e-beam energy with sufficient accuracy and eventually achieving the electron-ion velocity matching was a nontrivial task. In this paper we describe our experience with measuring and setting the e-beam energy at LEReC.

  High gradients are necessary for lots of applications of electron accelerators. As the maximum gradient is limited by effects of RF breakdown, we present a development of an electron accelerating structure operating with a short multi-megawatt RF pulse. The structure exploits an idea to decrease the breakdown probability due to RF pulse length reduction. This concept requires to distribute RF power so that all accelerating cells are fed independently each other. This implies waveguide net system which allows to delay and to distribute properly RF radiation along the structure keeping synchronism of particles and waves. We have designed an X-band pi-mode structure including the RF design, optimization, and engineering. The structure will be tested as an RF power extractor at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility for two-beam acceleration experiments. In this regime we anticipate to obtain 10 ns, gigawatt power level RF pulses generated by train consisted of eight 25-50 nC relativistic bunches.

  Fermilab aims to provide greater beam power for the neutrino physics program. As the beam power increases, the unwanted production of secondary electrons in the beam pipe, known as ‘electron cloud’ or ‘E-cloud’ may become disruptive to high intensity operation. Instrumentation has been deployed in the Fermilab Main Injector (MI) to study E-cloud. One of these is a Retard Field Analyzer (RFA) that can be used to directly measure E-cloud generation at the location of the instrument. Studies of the dependence of E-cloud on beam intensity and bunch length have been carried out. The experimental results are compared to POSINST simulations. These simulations are guided by measurements from a Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) test stand installed in the MI to measure the SEY of materials such as the beam pipe stainless steel. The SEY has a strong influence on the E-cloud density. Results of these comprehensive studies comparing the RFA data with realistic MI simulations will be presented.

WEYBA3 Tolerances for Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Drivers plasma, FEL, luminosity, emittance 614

  Transverse jitter tolerances are considered for beam-driven plasma accelerators. A simple model for jitter transfer from the drive to witness beam was developed and con-crete examples were studied for: high-brightness witness bunch injectors; high-energy boosters for FEL’s; and future Linear Colliders. For the LC application, we con-sider a superconducting Linac designed to minimize the jitter conditions of the drive beam. We use a start-to-end tracking model to simulate expected jitter performance. The tolerances on each subsystem of the driver Linac are found to be very tight, especially for magnet vibration which must be controlled at the sub-nm level.

Abstract: Research aiming to increase the RF breakdown threshold in electron/positron accelerators is being conducted at the Yale University Beam Physics Laboratory. Our two-beam accelerator approach employs a beam driven bimodal cavity structure. This cavity includes (i) two modes excited by the drive beam, with the higher mode frequency three times that of the fundamental TM010 mode; (ii) a low-current accelerated beam and high-current drive beam traversing the same cavity structure. This approach has the potential advantages of (a) operating at higher acceleration gradient with lower breakdown and pulsed heating rates than that of a single-mode cavity structure at the same acceleration gradient, due to the spatiotemporal field distribution properties in the bimodal cavities; and (b) obtaining high accelerating gradient with a low energy drive beam. Recent progress in simulations and work towards an experimental test stand is presented.

  RF breakdown is one of the major limitations to achieve high gradient acceleration for future structure-based normal conducting linear colliders. Previous statistic research shows that the breakdown rate is proportional to Ea30 * tp5, which indicates that the accelerating gradient Ea could be improved by using shorter RF pulses (tp). An X-band 11.7~GHz metallic single-cell structure has been designed for RF breakdown study up to 273~MV/m using short pulses (~3ns) generated by a 400~MW power extractor at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The structure has also been scaled to 11.424~GHz for the long pulse (100-1500~ns) breakdown study driven by a klystron and a pulse compressor at Tsinghua X-band High Power Test-stand (TPoT-X), with the gradient up to 246~MV/m with 200~MW input power.

  The short-pulse two-beam acceleration approach is a promising candidate to meet the cost and luminosity requirements for future linear colliders. Dielectric-loaded structure has been intensely investigated for this approach because of its low fabrication cost, low RF loss, and potential to withstand GV/m gradient. An X-band 11.7~GHz dielectric-loaded accelerator (DLA) has been designed for high power test with short RF pulses (3~ns) generated from a power extractor driven by high charge bunches at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The gradient is expected to be over 100~MV/m with the maximum input power of 400~MW.

  Funding: This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation under grant 19-42-04133 in the part of CST simulations for THz structures.
Recently, gradients on the order of 1 GV/m level have been obtained in a form of single cycle (~1 ps) THz pulses produced by conversion of a high peak power laser radiation in nonlinear crystals (~1 mJ, 1 ps, up to 3% conversion efficiency). These pulses however are broadband (0.1-5 THz) and therefore a new accelerating structure type is required. For electron beam acceleration with such pulses we propose arrays of parabolic focusing micro-mirrors with common central. These novel structures could be produced by a femtosecond laser ablation system developed at Euclid Techlabs. This technology had already been tested for production of several millimeters long, multi-cell structure which has been testing with electron beam. We also propose using of structures where necessary GV/m E-fields are excited by a drive bunch travelling in the corrugated waveguide. The radiated by drive bunch sequence of short range delayed wakes are guided in this case by metallic disks and reflected back being focused exactly at time when the witness bunch arrives.
