We present results of a measurement of such an arrangement at BNL's Advanced Test Facility (ATF). Our pipe was copper and was 5 cm long; the aperture was cylindrically symmetric, with a 1 mm (radius) bore and a corrugation depth (peak-to-peak) of 60 um. In the experiment we measured both the effect on the beam of the structure wakefield and the spectral properties of the radiation excited by the beam. We began by injecting a relatively long beam–-compared to the wavelength of the radiation–-to excite the structure, and then used a downstream spectrometer to infer the radiation wavelength. This was followed by injecting a shorter bunch, and then using an interferometer (also downstream of the corrugated pipe) to measure the spectrum of the induced THz radiation. Our experimental set-up was simple and not optimized for the efficient collection of the radiation by e.g. the use of tapered horns. As such it can be considered a proof-of-principle experiment.
