Slac High Gradient Testing of a Kek X-band Accelerator Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high accelerating gradients required for future linear colliders demands a better study of field emission and RF breakdown in accelerator structures. Changes in structure geometry, vacuum pumping, fabrication methods, and surface finish can all potentially impact the conditioning process, dark current emission, and peak RF power handling capability. Recent tests at SLAC of KEK’s “M2” travelling wave x-band accelerator section provides an opportunity to investigate some of these effects by comparing its performance to previously high power tested structures at SLAC [1,2]. In addition to studying ultimate power limitations, this test also demonstrates the use of computer automated conditioning to reach practical, achievable gradients.

Status of X-band Standing Wave Structure Studies at SLAC
The linacs proposed for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) and Japanese Linear Collider (JLC) would contain several thousand X-Band accelerator structures that would operate at a loaded gradient of 50 MV/m. An extensive experimental and theoretical program is underway at SLAC, FNAL and KEK to develop structures that reliably operate at this gradient. The development of standing wave structures is a...
متن کاملResearch and Development for an X-band Linear Collider*
At SLAC and KEK research is advancing toward a design for an electron-positron linear collider based on X-Band (11.4 GHz) rf accelerator technology. The nominal acceleration gradient in its main linacs will be about four times that in the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). The design targets a 1.0 TeV center-of-mass energy but envisions initial operation at 0.5 TeV and allows for expansion to 1.5 ...
متن کاملExperimental High-gradient Testing of an Elliptical-rod Photonic Band-gap (pbg) Structure at X-band
An 11.4 GHz photonic band-gap (PBG) structure where the rods in the inner row have an elliptical cross-section has been designed at MIT and manufactured and tested at high power and high repetition rate at SLAC. This structure exhibits lower surface magnetic fields on the rods relative to previous PBG structures tested at SLAC, which reduces the ohmic heating of the rod surface in an effort to ...
متن کاملThe next Linear Collider Test Accelerator: Status and Results
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 s...
متن کاملEffect of RF Parameters on Breakdown Limits in High-Vacuum X-Band Structures
RF breakdown is one of the major factors determining performance of high power rf components and rf sources. RF breakdown limits working power and produces irreversible surface damage. The breakdown limit depends on the rf circuit, structure geometry, and rf frequency. It is also a function of the input power, pulse width, and surface electric and magnetic fields. In this paper we discuss multi...
