Outline Motivation Metallic subwavelength deep corrugation structure Metallic metamaterial (MTM) wagon wheel structure Conclusions

Why metallic WFA?

Novel structures for metallic WFA Two metallic subwavelength structures will be introduced sequentially. –‘Conventional’ deep corrugation structure –Metamaterial (MTM) wagon wheel structure Deep corrugation structureWagon wheel structure

An array of metallic subwavelength cavities Two methods of analysis: –Analytical theory of wakefield in a single cell for scaling study –CST Particle Studio to simulate a multi-cell structure Deep corrugation structure

Simulation of wakefields Calculation results from the CST Wakefield solver (WAK) The decelerating wakes following the drive bunch: –travel outward –bounce at the metal wall into accelerating wakes –travel inward and focus at the beam axis to accelerate a witness bunch Beam Decelerating Ez Accelerating Ez z

Analytical wakefield calculation in a single cavity A single cavity with radius R and length d excited by a point charge with charge Q traveling at v 0 Maxwell’s equations Boundary condition p s is the s th zero of the J 0 function. The (s, n) term represents TM 0sn mode.

Equations of wakefields Longitudinal wakefield for the point charge where Gaussian bunch excitation with rms length σ z,,

The two methods are in good agreement. Scaling study can be done with the analytical model efficiently, without running the CST WAK for each data point. Benchmark analytical theory with CST WAK

Scaling of gradient Only one parameter is varied in every plot. Higher gradient is achieved with –Shorter bunch (Fig. a) –Shorter structure period (Fig. b) –Smaller beam hole (Fig. c) –No direct dependence on beam pipe radius or beam energy (c)(a)(b)

Summary of deep corrugation structure Deep corrugation structure is a promising candidate of collinear metallic WFA. A design for the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility is shown to generate a maximum accelerating gradient of 20 MV/m/nC. An analytical model has been developed and it agrees with the CST WAK code. Scaling study has been performed, and higher gradient can be achieved with –Smaller beam aperture, smaller period –Smaller bunch length The deep corrugation structure can generate a higher gradient than a dielectric tube with the same beam aperture and the same outer waveguide radius when excited by the same bunch

Wagon wheel structure Deep corrugation structure is designed for a collinear WFA experiment. –Propagation in the longitudinal direction and cell-to-cell coupling are not necessary in the collinear regime. The metamaterial approach: –Enable a propagating wave below the TM 01 cut-off frequency of an empty waveguide –Metamaterials: Subwavelength periodic structures Often referred to as a structure with a negative group velocity Bigger parameter space for dispersion engineering and optimization Enhanced wave-beam interaction

Previous MTM experiment in Argonne A MTM-loaded waveguide was tested with a 6 MeV bunch. Measured wakefield spectrum has a peak in the ‘negative’ band. Antipov 2008

Summary of wagon wheel structure A wagon wheel MTM structure is designed to allow wave propagation below the waveguide TM 01 frequency. The fundamental mode has a negative group velocity. A power extractor working at 11.7 GHz is designed. –140 MW output power with a single 40 nC bunch –2 GW output power with a train of 15 bunches each with 40 nC charge, bunch rep rate 1.3 GHz
