PBG Structure Experiments, AAC 2008 Abstract Damping wakefields is a critical issue in the next generation of high gradient accelerators. Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures have unique properties that offer significant wakefield damping. Experimental measurements of wakefields excited by an 18 MeV electron beam in a 6 cell, GHz metallic PBG traveling wave accelerator structure are reported. Theory calculations including traveling wave beam coupling, and wakefield simulations using T3P and Analyst are discussed. Good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment. Design and status of an GHz standing waves PBG breakdown experiment to be performed at SLAC are discussed. Current status and future plans for design work including future X-band PBG breakdown structures, and improved pulsed heating performance PBGs will be discussed.
