Description
In collinear wakefield acceleration, two figures of merits, gradient and transformer ratio, play pivotal roles. A high-gradient acceleration requires a high-charge beam. However, shaping current profile of such high-charge beam is challenging, due to the degradation by CSR. Recently proposed method, utilizing transverse deflecting cavities (TDC) for shaping, has shown promising simulation results for accurate shaping of high-charge beams. This is attributed to its dispersion-less feature. We plan to experimentally demonstrate high-gradient (>100 MV/m) and high-transformer ratio (>5) collinear structure wakefield acceleration. The experiment is planned at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility. We present results from start-to-end simulations for the experiment.
