Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report experimental observation of higher order mode (HOM) wakefield suppression in a room-temperature traveling-wave photonic band gap (PBG) accelerating structure at 11.700 GHz. It has been long recognized that PBG structures have potential for reducing long-range wakefields in accelerators. The first ever demonstration of acceleration in a room-temperature PBG structure was conducted in 2005. Since then, the importance of PBG accelerator research has been recognized by many institutions. However, the full experimental characterization of the wakefield spectrum and demonstration of wakefield suppression when the accelerating structure is excited by an electron beam has not been performed to date. We conducted an experiment at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) test facility and observed wakefields excited by a single high charge electron bunch when it passes through a PBG accelerator structure. Lastly, excellent HOM suppression properties of the PBG accelerator were demonstrated in the beam test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) No breakdown damage was observed on the iris surface, the location of peak electric field, but pulsed heating damage was observed on the inner rods, the location of magnetic fields as high as 1 MA/m. Breakdown in accelerator structures is generally understood in terms of electric field effects. PBG structure results highlight the unexpected role of magnetic fields on breakdown. The hypothesis is presented that the low level electric field on the inner rods is enhanced by pulsed heating surface damage, and causes breakdown. A new PBG structure was designed with improved pulsed heating, and will be tested. These results greatly further the understanding of advanced structures with wakefield suppression that are necessary for future colliders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis I present the design and experimental demonstration of the first photonic band gap (PBG) accelerator at 17.140 GHz. A photonic band gap structure is a one-, two- or three-dimensional periodic metallic and/or dielectric system (for example, of rods), which acts like a filter, reflecting rf fields in some frequency range and allowing rf fields at other frequencies to transmit through. Metal PBG structures are attractive for the Ku-band accelerators, because they can be employed to suppress wakefields. Wakefields are unwanted modes affecting the beam propagation or even destroying the beam. Suppression of wakefields is important. In this thesis, the theory of metallic PBG structures is explained and the Photonic Band Gap Structure Simulator (PBGSS) code is presented. PBGSS code was well benchmarked and the ways to'benchmark the code are described. Next, the concept of a PBG resonator is introduced. PBG resonators were modelled with Ansoft HFSS code, and a single-mode PBG resonator was designed. The HFSS design of a travelling-wave multi- cell PBG structure was performed. The multicell structure was built, cold-tested and tuned. Finally, the hot-test PBG accelerator demonstration was performed at the accelerator laboratory. The PBG accelerating structure was installed inside a vacuum chamber on the Haimson Research Corporation (HRC) accelerator beam line and powered with 2 MW from the HRC klystron. The electron bunches were produced by the HRC accelerator. The electron beam was accelerated by 1.4 MeV inside the PBG structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis reports the first high power tests of a hybrid photonic band gap (PBG) accelerator structure. PBG structures can support a single electromagnetic mode, thus damping higher-order modes (HOMs) generated by wakefields. We have designed, built and successfully tested a 17.14 GHz hybrid PBG (HPBG) structure containing both dielectric and metallic elements. Dielectric elements have low loss and the potential to survive high surface electromagnetic fields. The HPBG structure was constructed as a triangular lattice array with sapphire rods inside and copper rods outside sandwiched between copper plates. The lattice parameter and the rod pattern were adjusted to excite a high-Q TM0 2 mode and to suppress HOMs. This overmoded operation is a unique and novel feature of the hybrid design. The design included the birefringence of sapphire. Simulations showed relatively high surface fields at the triple point where sapphire, copper and vacuum meet as well as in any gaps between components in the clamped assembly. Three structures were tested with later structures designed to sequentially reduce the surface electric field. The third structure used sapphire rods with pin extensions at each end and obtained the highest gradient of 19 MV/m, corresponding to a surface E field of 78 MV/m, with a breakdown probability of 5 x 10 1 /pulse/m in 45-ns pulses. Operation above 20 MV/m gradient led to runaway breakdowns with extensive light emission and eventual damage. For all three structures, multipactor light emission was observed at gradients well below the breakdown threshold. Breakdown damage was found at the triple point where surface fields peaked. The deposition of copper onto sapphire resulting from breakdowns might eventually degrade the cavity quality. This research indicated that multipactor triggered at the triple point limited the operational gradient of the hybrid structure. These experiments represent the first high power tests of a hybrid PBG structure. The gradient achieved of 19 MV/m is the highest achieved with a dielectric structure. The gradient was found to be limited by multipactor and breakdown. The overmoded cavity with relatively large beam apertures might still find applications at high frequency or in high current transmission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report on the current status of our program to apply Photonic Band Gap (PBG) concepts to produce novel high-energy, high-intensity accelerator cavities. The PBG design on which we have concentrated our initial efforts consists of a square array of metal cylinders, terminated by conducting or superconducting sheets, and surrounded by microwave absorber on the periphery of the structure. A removed cylinder from the center of the array constitutes a site defect where a localized electromagnetic mode can occur. In previous work, we have proposed that this structure could be utilized as an accelerator cavity, with advantageous properties over conventional cavity designs. In the present work, we present further studies, including MAFIA-based numerical calculations and experimental measurements, demonstrating the feasibility of using the proposed structure in a real accelerator application.

Download or read book Beam Wave Interaction in Periodic and Quasi Periodic Structures written by Levi Schächter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main theme of this book is the interaction of electrons with electromagnetic waves in the presence of periodic and quasi-periodic structures in vacuum, in view of applications in the design and operation of particle accelerators. The first part of the book is concerned with the textbook-like presentation of the basic material, in particular reviewing elementary electromagnetic phenomena and electron dynamics. The second part of the book describes the current models for beam-wave interactions with periodic and quasi-periodic structures. This is the basis for introducing, in the last part of the book, a number of particle and radiation sources that rest on these principles, in particular the free-electron laser, wake-field acceleration schemes and a number of other advanced particle accelerator concepts. This second edition brings this fundamental text up-to-date in view of the enormous advances that have been made over the last decade since the first edition was published. All chapters, as well as the bibliography, have been significantly revised and extended, and the number of end-of-chapter exercises has been further increased to enhance this book’s usefulness for teaching specialized graduate courses.
Download or read book Electrostatic Accelerators written by Ragnar Hellborg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-04-21 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrostatic accelerators are an important and widespread subgroup within the broad spectrum of modern, large particle acceleration devices. They are specifically designed for applications that require high-quality ion beams in terms of energy stability and emittance at comparatively low energies (a few MeV). Their ability to accelerate virtually any kind of ion over a continuously tunable range of energies makes them a highly versatile tool for investigations in many research fields including, but not limited to, atomic and nuclear spectroscopy, heavy ion reactions, accelerator mass spectroscopy as well as ion-beam analysis and modification. The book is divided into three parts. The first part concisely introduces the field of accelerator technology and techniques that emphasize their major modern applications. The second part treats the electrostatic accelerator per se: its construction and operational principles as well as its maintenance. The third part covers all relevant applications in which electrostatic accelerators are the preferred tool for accelerator-based investigations. Since some topics are common to all types of accelerators, Electrostatic Accelerators will also be of value for those more familiar with other types of accelerators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with an introduction to the physics of complex plasmas, a discussion of the specific scientific and technical challenges they present and an overview of their potential technological applications. Complex plasmas differ from conventional high-temperature plasmas in several ways: they may contain additional species, including nano meter- to micrometer-sized particles, negative ions, molecules and radicals and they may exhibit strong correlations or quantum effects. This book introduces the classical and quantum mechanical approaches used to describe and simulate complex plasmas. It also covers some key experimental techniques used in the analysis of these plasmas, including calorimetric probe methods, IR absorption techniques and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The final part of the book reviews the emerging applications of microcavity and microchannel plasmas, the synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials through plasma electrochemistry, the large-scale generation of ozone using microplasmas and novel applications of atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasmas in dentistry. Going beyond the scope of traditional plasma texts, the presentation is very well suited for senior undergraduate, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers specializing in plasma physics.
