Wakefield and Beam Centering Measurements of a Damped and Detuned X-band Accelerator Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present wakefield measurements of a prototype Next Linear Collider (NLC) accelerator structure that was built with dipole mode damping and detuning to suppress the long-range transverse wakefield induced by a beam. In addition, we describe beam centering tests that use as a guide the dipole power coupled out of the structure for damping purposes.

Wire Measurement of Impedance of an X-band Accelerating Structure
Several tens of thousands of accelerator structures will be needed for the next generation of normal conducting linear colliders known as the GLC/NLC (Global Linear Collider/Next Linear Collider). To prevent the beam being driven into a disruptive BBU (Beam Break-Up) mode or at the very least, the emittance being significantly diluted, it is important to damp down the wakefield left by driving ...
متن کاملMicrowave Analysis of the Damped Detuned Accelerator Structure*
Damped and detuned accelerating structures (DDS), designed to minimize the effects of long range wakefields excited by bunchtrains, are presently under investigations at SLAC. We report the first studies of beam-induced microwave signals in a prototype DDS. The DDS is a 206 cell, nearly constant gradient structure, employing Gaussian detuning, and four symmetrically placed waveguide manifolds t...
متن کاملComparisons of Equivalent Circuit Predictions with Measurements for Short Stacks of Rdds1 Discs, and Their Potential Application to Improved Wakefield Prediction
In fabricating the first X-Band RDDS (Rounded Damped Detuned Structure) accelerator structure, microwave measurements are made on short groups of discs prior to bonding the discs of the entire structure. The design dispersion curves are compared with the frequency measurements. The theory utilised is based on a circuit model adapted to a short stack of slowly varying non-uniform discs. The mode...
متن کاملStudies of Beam Induced Dipole-Mode Signals in Accelerating Structures at the SLC
Beam emittance dilution by self induced transverse elds (wake elds) in accelerating structures is a key problem in linear accelerators. To minimize the wake eld e ects the beam trajectory must be precisely centered within the structures. An e cient way to achieve this is to detect beam induced microwave signals in the lowest dipole mode band and to steer the beam by minimizing these signals. Th...
متن کاملA Study of Higher-band Dipole Wakefields in X-band Accelerating Structures for the G/nlc
The X-band linacs for the G/NLC (Global/Next Linear Collider) have evolved from the DDS (Damped Detuned Structure) series. The present accelerating structures are 60 cm in length and incorporate damping and detuning of the dipole modes which comprise the wakefield. In order to adequately damp the wakefield, frequencies of adjacent structures are interleaved. Limited analysis has been done previ...
