| The investigation of wakefields is an important task in the design and operation of particle accelerators. Computer simulations are a reliable tool to extend the understanding of these effects. This contribution presents an application example of a new method to compute wakefields as well as parameters derived from those fields, such as higher order mode (HOM) port signals. The method is based on a reduced order model of the structure created by as set of 3D eigenmodes, a set of 2D waveguide port modes and the current density of the beam. In contrast to other wakefield computations, the proposed method operates directly on the reduced order model. Therefore, once having established this model, the beam-excited fields can be determined quickly for different beam parameters. As a matter of fact, only a small part of the reduced system has to be recomputed for every sweep point. From these advantages it is obvious, that the method is highly compatible for beam parameter studies. In a proof of principal the effectiveness of the method compared to established methods of wakefield computations in terms of computational time and accuracy is shown. | |||

Funding: Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 We study the wake potentials of very short bunches in a quasi periodic structure of superconducting cavities. We analyze the pattern of the electric force lines and the shape of a cavity. The behavior of electric force lines reflects irregularities of the shape structure of a cavity. Simulations were carried for different kind of cavities, including JLAB 7 cell cavity with application to future light sources. |

Funding: This work is supported in parts by the U.S. DOE Early Career Research Program and by the DOD High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office through the Office of Naval Research. We present the results of recent design and testing of several 2.1 GHz superconducting rf (SRF) photonic band gap (PBG) resonators. PBG cells have great potential for outcoupling long-range wakefields in SRF accelerator structures without affecting the fundamental accelerating mode. Using PBG structures in superconducting particle accelerators will allow operation at higher frequencies and moving forward to significantly higher beam luminosities thus leading towards a completely new generation of colliders for high energy physics. Here we report the results of our efforts to fabricate 2.1 GHz PBG cells with round and elliptical rods and to test them with high power at liquid helium temperatures. Two PBG cells with round rods were tested in spring of 2012 and achieved accelerating gradients of 15 MV/m at 2 Kelvin. Two PBG cells with elliptical rods will be tested in summer of 2013. |
