| Abstract |
The commissioning of the upgraded AWA facility is well underway. The new L-band electron gun has been fully commissioned and has been successfully operated with its Cesium Telluride photocathode at a gradient of 80 MV/m. Single bunches of up to 100 nC, and bunch trains of four bunches with up to 80 nC per bunch have been generated. The six new accelerating cavities (L-band, seven cells, pi mode) have been RF conditioned to 12 MW or more; their operation at 10 MW brings the beam energy up to 75 MeV. Measurements of the beam parameters are presently underway, and the use of this intense beam to drive high gradient wakefields will soon follow. One of the main goals of the facility is to generate RF pulses with GW power levels, corresponding to accelerating gradients of hundreds of MV/m and energy gains on the order of 100 MeV per structure.
