1. Wakefield Damping Effects in the CLIC Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) Wakefield Simulation of CLIC PETS Structure Using Parallel 3D Finite Element Time-Domain Solver T3P * Arno Candel, Andreas Kabel, Zenghai Li, Cho Ng, Liequan Lee, Greg Schussman, Kwok Ko Advanced Computations Department, SLAC Igor Syratchev, CERN Abstract In recent years, SLAC's Advanced Computations Department (ACD) has developed the parallel 3D Finite Element electromagnetic time-domain code T3P. Higher-order Finite Element methods on conformal unstructured meshes and massively parallel processing allow unprecedented simulation accuracy for wakefield computations and simulations of transient effects in realistic accelerator structures. Applications include simulation of wakefield damping in the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS).

Comparison to GdfidL results for simplified geometry (without outer tank & coupler): Good agreement between T3P and GdfidL transverse impedance results T3P PETS Model Parallel Finite Element Time-Domain Code T3P Summary Dipole wakefields are shown in a cross-section view of the PETS structure as modeled with T3P. The beam is about to leave the structure (right side), and damping effects in the dielectric loads are visible (left side). The magnitude of the electric surface fields is indicated by colors. The vertical symmetry plane is added for visualization.
