Design of a 3 Ghz Accelerator Structure for the Clic Test Facility (ctf 3) Drive Beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the CLIC two-beam scheme, a high-current, longpulse drive beam is required for RF power generation. Taking advantage of the 3 GHz klystrons available at the LEP injector once LEP stops, a 180 MeV electron accelerator is being constructed for a nominal beam current of 3.5 A and 1.5 Ps pulse length. The high current requires highly effective suppression of dipolar wakes. Two concepts are investigated for the accelerating structure design: the “Tapered Damped Structure” developed for the CLIC main beam, and the “Slotted Iris – Constant Aperture” structure. Both use 4 SiC loads per cell for effective higher-order mode damping. A full-size prototype of the TDS structure has been built and tested successfully at full power. A first prototype of the SICA structure is being built.

Clic Test Facility Developments and Results
The objectives of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF) are to study the generation of short intense electron bunches using a laser driven photocathode in an RF gun, to generate 30 GHz RF power for high gradient tests of prototype CLIC components, and to test beam position monitors. The performance of the CTF has improved dramatically in the course of the past year and highlights are presented here. The...
متن کاملTWO-FREQUENCY BEAM-LOADING COMPENSATION in the DRIVE- BEAM ACCELERATOR of the CLIC TEST FACILITY
The CLIC Test Facility (CTF) is a prototype two-beam accelerator, in which a high-current “drive beam” is used to generate the RF power for the main-beam accelerator. The drive-beam accelerator consists of two S-band structures which accelerate a bunch train with a total charge of 500 nC. The substantial beam loading is compensated by operating the two accelerating structures at 7.81 MHz above ...
متن کاملThe 30 Ghz Transfer Structure for the Clic Study
In the so-called “Two-Beam Acceleration Scheme” the energy of a drive beam is converted to rf power by means of a “Transfer Structure”, which plays the role of power source. In The Transfer Structure the bunched drive beam is decelerated by the electromagnetic field which it induces and builds up by the coherent interaction of successive bunches with the chosen longitudinal mode. The CLIC Trans...
متن کاملDesign of the 15 GHz BPM test bench for the CLIC test facility to perform precise stretched-wire RF measurements
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) requires a low emittance beam transport and preservation, thus a precise control of the beam orbit along up to 50 km of the accelerator components in the sub-μm regime is required. Within the PACMAN3 (Particle Accelerator Components Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometer Scale) PhD training action a study with the objective of pre-aligning the electrical cen...
متن کاملFirst Experimental Results with the Clic Drive Beam Phase Feedforward Prototype at the Clic Test Facility Ctf3∗
The two-beam acceleration scheme envisaged for CLIC will require a high degree of phase stability between two beams at the drive beam decelerator sections, to allow efficient acceleration of the main beam. There will be up to 48 such decelerator sections for the full 3 TeV design, and each decelerator section will be instrumented with a feed-forward system to correct the drive beam phase to a p...
