An Investigation of Optimised Frequency Distributions for Damping Wakefields in X-band Linacs for the Nlc
نویسنده
چکیده
In the NLC (Next Linear Collider) small misalignments in each of the individual accelerator structures (or the accelerator cells) will give rise to wakefields which kick the beam from its electrical axis. This wakefield can cause BBU (Beam Break Up) or, at the very least, it will dilute the emittance of the beam. Several Gaussian detuned structures have been designed and tested [1] at SLAC and in this paper we explore new distributions with possibly better damping properties. The progress of the beam through approximately 5,000 structures is monitored in phase space and results on this are presented.

Manifold Damping of Wakefields in High Phase Advance Linacs for the Nlc
Earlier RDDS (Rounded Damped Detuned Structures) [1,2], designed, fabricated and tested at SLAC, in collaboration with KEK, have been shown to damp wakefields successfully. However, electrical breakdown has been found to occur in these structures and this makes them inoperable at the desired gradient. Recent results [3] indicate that lowering the group velocity of the accelerating mode reduces ...

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...
متن کاملEmittance Dilution Simulations for Normal Conducting and Superconducting Linear Colliders
Abstract An electron (or positron) multi-bunch train traversing several thousand accelerator structures can be distorted by the long-range wakefields left behind accelerated bunches. These wakefields can at the very least, give rise to a dilution in the emittance of the beam and, at worst can lead to a beam break up instability. We investigate the emittance dilution that occurs for various freq...
متن کاملFabrication and Tolerance Issues and their Influence on Multi-Bunch BBU and Emittance Dilution in the Construction of X-Band RDDS Linacs for the NLC
The main linacs of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) will contain several thousand X-band RDDS (Rounded Damped Detuned Structures). The transverse wakefield in the structures is reduced by detuning the modal frequencies such that they destructively interfere and by four damping manifolds per structure which provide weak damping. Errors in the fabrication of the individual cells and in the alignmen...

Abstract In damping the wakefield generated by an electron beam traversing several thousand X-band linacs in the NLC we utilise a Gaussian frequency distribution of dipole modes to force the modes to deconstructively interfere, supplemented with moderate damping achieved by coupling...
