Beam breakup (BBU) effects resulting from parasitic wakefields are a serious limitation to the performance of dielectric structure based accelerators. We report here on numerical studies and experimental investigations of BBU and its mitigation. An experimental program is underway at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility that will focus on BBU measurements in dielectric wakefield devices. We examine the use of external FODO channels for control of the beam in the presence of strong transverse wakefields. We present calculations based on a particle-Green's function beam dynamics code (BBU-3000) that we are developing. We will report on new features of the code including the ability to treat space charge. The BBU code is being incorporated into a software  framework that will significantly increase its utility (Beam Dynamics Simulation Platform). The platform is based on the very flexible Boinc software environment developed originally at Berkeley for the SETI@home project. The package can handle both task farming on a heterogeneous cluster of networked computers and computing on a local grid. User access to the platform is through a web browser.

In this presentation, dielectric collimator concepts for the linear collider will be described. Cylindrical and planar dielectric collimator designs for CLIC and ILC parameters will be presented, and results of simulations to minimize the beam impedance will be discussed. The prototype collimator system is planned to be fabricated and experimentally tested at Facilities for Accelerator Science and Experimental Test Beams (FACET) at SLAC.

As the dimensions of accelerating structures become smaller and beam intensities higher, the transverse wakefields driven by the beam become quite large with even a slight misalignment of the beam. These deflection modes can cause inter-bunch beam breakup and intra-bunch head-tail instabilities along the beam path. We propose a built-in tunable absorption mechanism for damping the parasitic transverse modes without affecting the operational modes in dielectric loaded accelerating (DLA) structures and wakefield power extractors. The new principle for HOM absorption is based on electron paramagnetic resonance. The dielectric tube of the DLA has to be doped with a material exhibiting high EPR, for example ruby, Al2O3 overdoped ~1% with Cr3+. The absorption frequency can be tuned by an external DC magnetic field to match the frequency of the transverse mode. At the resonance imaginary part of permeability becomes significant and the dielectric tube acts as an absorber for the transverse modes. The external DC magnetic field is solenoidal and has to have a magnitude of about 3 kG. This configuration in fact is desirable to focus the beam and provide additional control of beam break up.

High frequency, high power rf sources are needed for many applications in particle accelerators, communications, radar, etc. We have developed a 26GHz high power rf source based on the extraction of wakefields from a relativistic electron beam. The extractor is designed to couple out rf power generated from a high charge electron bunch train traversing a dielectric loaded waveguide. The first high beam experiment has been performed at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility. The experimental results successfully demonstrate the 15ns 26GHz rf pulse generated from the wakefield extractor with a bunch train of 16 bunches. Meanwhile, ~ 30MW short rf pulse has been achieved with a bunch train of 4 bunches. Beam Breakup has prevented charge transport through the power extractor beyond 10nC. We are doing simulations and developing methods to alleviate the BBU effect.

Dielectric-Loaded Accelerating (DLA) structures are generally lack of approaches to tune frequency after the fabrication. A tunable DLA structure has been developed by using an extra nonlinear ferroelectric layer. Dielectric constant of the applied ferroelectric material is sensitive to temperature and DC voltage. Bench test shows the +14MHz/°C, and 6MHz frequency tuning range for a 25kV/cm of DC bias field. A beam test is planned at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility before the IPAC conference. Detailed results will be reported.

Materials possessing variations in the permittivity as a function of the electric field exhibit a variety of phenomena for electromagnetic wave propagation such as frequency multiplication, wave steepening and shock formation, solitary waves, and mode mixing. New low loss nonlinear microwave ferroelectric materials present interesting and potentially useful applications for both advanced and conventional particle accelerators. Accelerating structures (either wakefield-based or driven by an external rf source) loaded with a nonlinear dielectric may exhibit significant field enhancements. In this paper we will explore the large signal permittivity of these new materials and applications of nonlinear dielectric devices to high gradient acceleration, rf sources, and beam manipulation. We describe planned measurements using a planar nonlinear transmission line to characterize in detail the electric field dependence of the permittivity of these materials. We will present a concept for a nonlinear transmission line that can be used to generate short, high intensity rf pulses to drive fast rf kickers.

Current advanced accelerator modeling applications require a more sophisticated treatment of dielectric and paramagnetic media properties than simply assuming a constant permittivity or permeability. So far active media have been described by a linear, frequency-dependent, single-frequency, scalar dielectric function.  We have been developing algorithms to model the high frequency response of dispersive, active, and nonlinear media. The work described also has applications for modeling of other electromagnetic problems involving realistic dielectric and magnetic media. Results to be reported include treatment of multiple Lorentz resonances based on auxiliary differential equation, Fourier, and hybrid approaches. We will also report on recent measurements of paramagnetic active microwave materials using EPR spectroscopy. Comparison of the results to numerical simulations will be presented.
