Experimental design of a W-band corrugated waveguide for wakefield acceleration studies
Radiofrequency (RF) structures in the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) regime are of interest for applications in structure wakefield acceleration due to their compact size and potential for high gradients. We present the design, fabrication, and experimental setup of a metallic corrugated waveguide at 110 GHz, optimized for the 42 MeV electron beam parameters at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The emittance exchange (EEX) beamline at AWA was used to perform longitudinal bunch shaping for two cases: (1) a high decelerating gradient experienced by a single drive electron bunch about long; (2) a high transformer ratio using a two-bunch train consisting of a triangularly shaped drive bunch followed by a long witness bunch to probe the wakefield. Preliminary experimental results are presented, and data analysis is ongoing.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
