The next Linear Collider Test Accelerator: Status and Results
نویسنده
چکیده
At SLAC, we are pursuing the design of a Next Linear Collider (NLC) which would begin with a center-of-mass energy of 0.5 TeV, and would be upgradable to 1.0 TeV and beyond [1]. To achieve this high energy, for the past several years we have been working on the development of a high-gradient 11.4-GHz (X-band) linear accelerator for the main linac of the collider. In this paper, we present the status and initial results from the “Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator” (NLCTA) [2]. The goal of the NLCTA is to model the high gradient linac of the NLC. It incorporates the new technologies of X-band accelerator structures, rf pulse compression systems and high-power klystrons into a 0.5 to 1.0 GeV linac which is a test bed for beam dynamics issues related to high-gradient acceleration.

The next Linear Collider Test Accelerator+
During the past several years, there has been tremendous progress on the development of the RF system and accelerating structures for a Next Linear Collider (NLC). Developments include high-power klystrons, RF pulse compression systems and damped/detuned accelerator structures to reduce wakefields. In order to integrate these separate development efforts into an actual X-band accelerator capabl...

متن کاملBeam Loading Compensation in the Nlcta*
In the design of the Next Linear Collider (NLC), multibunch operation is employed to improve efficiency at the cost of substantial beam loading. The RF pulse that powers the accelerator structures will be shaped to compensate for the effect of the transient loading along the bunch train. This scheme has been implemented in the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA), a facility built to t...
متن کاملBeam Tilt Signals as Emittance Diagnostic in the Next Linear Collider Main Linac
High frequency cavity beam position monitors (BPMs) can also provide information on the xz or yz correlation of the beam (yaw or pitch, respectively). Such a diagnostic is particularly desirable in the Next Linear Collider (NLC) main linacs, where the principal sources of emittance dilution generate such a correlation. Test results from the extremely low emittance beam at the KEK Accelerator Te...
