An X-band Standing Wave Dielectric Loaded Accelerating Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
An 11.4 GHz standing wave Dielectric Loaded Accelerating (DLA) structure was recently developed. The structure is designed to achieve a 120 MV/m gradient powered by a 10 MW 200 ns rf pulse from the X-band Magnicon at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The structure uses on-axis rf coupling, which helps to localize the maximum EM fields within the dielectric region. Bench testing shows excellent agreement with the simulation results. In the high power rf test, multipactor was found to prevent increasing the gradient inside the dielectric cavity beyond 10MV/m. A simple model has been constructed that shows good agreement with the experiment. A new approach to completely suppress the multipactor in DLA structures using an axial magnetic field has been proposed. More experiments are planned.

The High-gradient S-band Linac for Initial I. Acceleration of the Slc Intense
Although short lengths of S-band standing-wave, disk-loaded waveguide have been successfully RF-processed to accelerating gradients equivalent to about 175 MeV/m in a traveling-wave structure, the 20 MeV/m gradient of the SLC 50 GeV linac has been the highest gradient S-band accelerator in operation. However, the 1.5 m traveling-wave constant impedance capture section for the SLC positron sourc...

1. Summary This paper gives a progress report on RF breakdown studies carried out at SLAC on an S-band standing-wave disk-loaded accelerator structure. The structure is the same M described at two earlier conferences'~2 but it has been equipped with eight new radial probes and one output port to observe the emission of light, which has not yet been used. The earlier breakdown limit of 144 MV/m ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Dielectric and Iris Loaded Periodic Accelerating Structure
One disadvantage of conventional iris-loaded accelerating structures is the high ratio of the peak surface electric field to the peak axial electric field useful for accelerating a beam. Typically this ratio Es/Ea ≥ 2. The high surface electric field relative to the accelerating gradient may prove to be a limitation for realizing technologies for very high gradient accelerators. In this paper, ...
متن کاملStatus 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...

Recently, there has been some interest in planar or rectangular dielectric accelerating structures for future high-gradient linear accelerators. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the modes of a dielectric-loaded rectangular waveguide accelerating structure based on a circuit model approximation and mode matching method.
