The X-band linear collider design, GLC/NLC, requires accelerating structures in the main linac to operate at 65 MV/m and to be able to control emittance growth due to dipole wakefields generated by 100 micron bunch trains. The approach to high gradient has focused mainly on testing structures for acceptable breakdown rates at the desired gradient through experiments since the problem is analytically challenging. In suppressing dipole wakefields, the damped, detuned structure (DDS) has shown capable of meeting design requirements but the analysis using equivalent circuits has thus far been limited to the lowest two dipole bands. This paper describes a computational approach that addresses these design issues through large-scale simulations, using a suite of parallel electromagnetic codes developed under the DOE SciDAC Accelerator Simulation Project. Numerical results on peak field calculation, dark current generation, and wakefield computation will be presented on the H60VG4S17 DDS structure, considered to be the baseline design for the NLC.
