Dielectric laser acceleration of electrons has recently been demonstrated with significantly higher accelerating gradients than other structure-based linear accelerators. Towards the development of an integrated 1 MeV electron accelerator based on dielectric laser accelerator technologies, development in several relevant technologies is needed. In this work, recent developments on electron sources, bunching, accelerating, focussing, deflecting and laser coupling structures are reported. With an eye to the near future, components required for a 1 MeV kinetic energy tabletop accelerator producing sub-femtosecond electron bunches are outlined.

WEOBB1 Recirculated Electron Beam Photo-Converter for Rare Isotope Production 2526

  The TRIUMF 50 MeV electron linac has the potential to drive cw beams of up to 0.5 MW to the ARIEL photo-fission facility for rare isotope science. Due to the cooling requirements, the use of a thick Bremsstrahlung target for electron to photon conversion is a difficult technical challenge in this intensity regime. Here we present a different concept in which electrons are injected into a small storage ring to make multiple passes through a thin internal photo-conversion target, eventually depositing their remaining energy in a cooled central core absorber. We discuss the design requirements and propose a set of design parameters for the Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) ring. Using particle simulation models, we estimate various beam properties, as well as the MPS for the electron loss.

  We report on the experimental demonstration of ballistic bunching of photoinjected, nC-scale electron bunches at the PITZ facility. In the experiment, electron bunches emanating from the photocathode were directly focused into a mm-scale dielectric-lined waveguide. The wakefield excited by the bunch acts back onto itself, leading to an energy modulation, which at a relatively low energy of 6~MeV, is converted into a density modulation before entering the linac  ∼ 1~m downstream. We discuss the basic theory, experimental layout and results.

  We summarize the potentialities of combining two well developed technologies, which are advancing the frontiers of hadron colliders and of light sources, namely the hadron colliders for high energy physics, and the FELs for applied and fundamental science with light, towards the generation of secondary beams with unprecedented characteristics. The collision between their typical pulses of high energy protons and X-ray photons opens a collider scenario with potentials for luminosities in excess of 1038 s-1*cm-2, adequate to generate TeV-class pion, muon, neutrino and photon beams with very high phase space densities. We report results based on Monte Carlo simulations of such a hadron-photon collider*, aiming at qualifying the features of these secondary beams in view of experiments to be performed directly, or towards the design of a new kind of muon collider.

We give an overview of the research program at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA), including some highlights of recent experiments. The AWA facility is dedicated to the study of beam physics and the development of technology for future particle accelerators. Two independent electron linacs are used to study wakefield acceleration: 70 MeV high charge electron bunches of up to 100 nC are used to drive wakefields, which can be probed by bunches originating from the same linac or from the 15 MeV linac. Recent Two-Beam-Acceleration (TBA) experiments operating at 11.7 GHz reached accelerating gradients of up to 150 MV/m. No indication of witness beam quality degradation was observed, and bunch charge was preserved during the acceleration process. Two identical TBA setups were used in series in order to demonstrate staging capabilities. Dielectric loaded structures operating at 26 GHz are also used in TBA experiments. Another main thrust of the research program consists of exploring and developing techniques to manipulate the phase space of electron bunches. These efforts include bunch shaping and the exchange of emittances in the transverse and the longitudinal phase spaces

  Charged muons as Muonium negative ions (consisting of positive Mu-meson and 2 electrons) have affinity S=0.75 eV. Muonium have ionization energy I=13.6 eV. Muonium negative ions were observed in 1987 [10, 11] by interaction of muons with a foil. In these work an efficiency of transformation of mu mesons to negative musonium ions were very low 10-4. However, with using Tungsten or palladium single crystal with deposition cesium it can be improved up to 40-50%.

  We present single-cell accelerating structures designed for high-gradient testing at 110 GHz. The purpose of this work is to study the basic physics of ultrahigh vacuum RF breakdown in high-gradient RF accelerators. The accelerating structures are pi-mode standing-wave cavities fed with a TM01 circular waveguide. The structures are fabricated using precision milling out of two metal blocks, and the blocks are joined with diffusion bonding and brazing. The impact of fabrication and joining techniques on the cell geometry and RF performance will be discussed. First prototypes had a measured Qo of 2800, approaching the theoretical design value of 3300. The geometry of these accelerating structures are as close as practical to single-cell standing-wave X-band accelerating structures more than 40 of which were tested at SLAC. This wealth of X-band data will serve as a baseline for these 110 GHz tests. The structures will be powered with short pulses from a MW gyrotron oscillator. RF power of 1 MW may allow us to reach an accelerating gradient of 400 MeV/m.

We report the preliminary experimental results on the resonant excitation of THz wakefield in a multi-mode dielectric loaded waveguide (DLW) by electron bunch train at the Tsinghua University accelerator beamline. The bunch train with certain longitudinal periodicity was generated based on nonlinear longitudinal space charge oscillation [1]. By passing such bunch train through a multi-mode DLW, we observed selective excitation of the fifth longitudinal mode (TM05 mode) was resonantly excited. Future experiment plan is to tune the bunch train interval with a chicane in the beamline in order to selectively excite arbitrary mode for tunable THz radiation source with multi-mode DLWs.
