Description

A novel concept called the Transverse Deflecting Cavity Based Chirper (TCBC) * can be used to impose an energy chirp onto an electron beam in a linear accelerator, without the need for off-crest acceleration. The TCBC consists of 3 transverse deflecting cavities (TCAVs), which together impose an energy chirp while cancelling out the transverse deflection in the TCAVs. An experiment has been developed to demonstrate this concept at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. Here we outline the plan and give a timeline for the upcoming experiment. In addition, we will show results from General Particle Tracer ** simulations of the beamline.

Funding Agency

This research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through the Laboratory Directed Research and Development program of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, under project number 20240231ER.
