  2. CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW OF 2-CHANNEL DWFA STRUCTUREWide channel is for high-current low-energy drive beam, while narrow channel is for low-current high-energy test beam. Advantages: • Separate channels can simplify separation of beam transport issues. • Energy flow is continuous from drive beam to test beam. No coupling structures. • Transformer ratio >>2 is possible, but at the expense of accelerating gradient. • Axially-uniform structure is relatively simple to fabricate. Disadvantages: • Dielectrics can impede thermal transport, leading to cooling issues. • Transverse asymmetry can lead to excessive deflecting forces & emittance growth.

  3. THEORETICALLY-PREDICTED ACCELERATING & DRAG FORCES(for the witness bunch located at z = 0.845 cm behind the drive bunch center)

  4. THEORETICALLY-PREDICTED TRANSVERSE FORCES IN BOTH CHANNELS Transverse deflection is not insignificant, but witness bunch remains in its channel over its entire 12 cm length. Transverse wake forces can be greatly reduced for a three-channel structure. (Hear the following paper by T.C. Marshall, et al.)

  5. Mode powers, test beam deflection, energy gain14 MeV, 50 nC drive bunch (6x2x4 mm3)

  6. Cross section of 2-channel DWFA experimental structureChannel shown below is cut into a copper block using EDM, and the three cordierite slabs are to be slid into place.

  8. A TWO-CHANNEL DWFA WITH GOOD SYMMETRY(requiring a stable high-charge annular drive bunch)

  9. AXIAL FORCES ON DRIVE AND TEST BUNCHES IN COAX DWFA4-mm long, 50 nC annular drive bunch head is at z = 100 mm;test bunch is at z = 86 mm; transformer ratio  11/1.1 = 10

  10. TRANSVERSE FORCES ON DRIVE AND TEST BUNCHES IN COAX DWFA4-mm long, 50 nC annular drive bunch head is at z = 100 mm;test bunch is at z = 86 mm, r = 0.8 mm; transformer ratio  10Note that transverse force on test bunch is stabilizing!

  11. SUMMARY Properties of 2-channel rectangular DWFA have been simulated and calculated for experiments based on ANL bunch parameters. Double-pulse RF photocathode is to create a 50 nC drive bunch and a smaller time-delayed test bunch. Energy gain and radiation spectrum will be measured. This is the first experiment designed to elucidate theperformance of a two-channel, two-beam DWFA. Evolution into a working accelerator requires invention of a multi-channel structure with higher symmetry than the rectangular structure. Preliminary simulations for coax DWFA show good symmetry with a high transformer ratio and intrinsic transverse stability of the test bunch. The rectangular two-channel structure may be a good candidate for a fast kicker.
