Drive-witness Acceleration Scheme Based on Corrugated Dielectric Mm-scale Capillary
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate a corrugated mm-scale capillary as a compact accelerating structure in a drive – witness acceleration scheme, and suggest a methodology to measure acceleration of a witness bunch. Two typical measurements and the energy gain in a witness bunch as a function of the distance between bunches are discussed. A corrugated capillary is considered as an accelerator/decelerator with an adjustable wakefield pattern depending on a transverse beam position.

Experimental Demonstration of Wakefield Effects in a 250 GHz Planar Diamond Accelerating Structure
We have directly measured the mm-wave wake fields induced by subpicosecond, intense relativistic electron bunches in a diamond loaded accelerating structure via the dielectric wake-field acceleration mechanism. Fields produced by a leading drive beam were used to accelerate a trailing witness electron bunch which followed the driving bunch at an adjustable distance. The energy change of the wit...
متن کاملConceptual Design of the Drive Beam for a Pwfa-lc*
Plasma Wake-Field Acceleration (PWFA) has demonstrated acceleration gradients above 50 GeV/m. Simulations have shown drive/witness bunch configurations that yield small energy spreads in the accelerated witness bunch and high energy transfer efficiency from the drive bunch to the witness bunch, ranging from 30% for a Gaussian drive bunch to 95% for bunch with triangular shaped longitudinal prof...

The commissioning of the upgraded AWA facility has been recently completed. The L-band electron gun has been fully commissioned and has been successfully operated with its Cesium Telluride photocathode at a gradient of 80 MV/m. Single bunches of up to 100 nC, and bunch trains of up to 32 bunches with a maximum total charge in the trains of 600 nC have been generated. Six pi-mode accelerating ca...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of spoof plasmons in periodically corrugated waveguides.
States of the electromagnetic field confined near a periodically corrugated surface of a perfect conductor, spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP), are approached systematically based on the developed adaptation of the mode matching technique to the transfer matrix formalism. Within this approach, in the approximation of narrow grooves, systems with arbitrary transversal structure can be inves...
متن کامل0 Design and Simulation of a High Frequency High Power Rf Extraction Device Using a Dielectric - Loaded Waveguide 1
We consider the use of a dielectric-loaded structure to extract rf energy from a high current electron drive beam as a power source for a high energy two-beam accelerator. This represents an alternative technique which we show to have some significant advantages over the use of the currently proposed corrugated metal structures as power extraction devices. We discuss a particular design that wi...
