	The ELI-NP Gamma Beam System is an advanced gamma ray source based on the Compton back-scattering effect with unprecedented specifications of brilliance ( >10²¹), monochromaticity (0.5%) and energy tunability (0.2 - 19.5 MeV), presently under construction in Magurele-Bucharest (RO). Here the head-on collision is foreseen between an intense high power laser beam and a high brightness high quality electron beam with a maximum kinetic energy of 740 MeV. The electron beam dynamics analysis and control for the ELI-NP GBS Linac in the single and multi bunch mode have been investigated and are here illustrated.

	New generation of particle accelerators is based on the excitation of large amplitude plasma waves driven by either electron or laser beams, named as Plasma Wakefield Accelerator (PWFA) and Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA), respectively. Future experiments scheduled at the SPARC_LAB test facility aim to demonstrate the acceleration of externally injected high brightness electron beams through both schemes. In particular, in the so-called resonant PWFA a train of more than two driver electron bunches generated with the laser comb technique resonantly excites wakefields into the plasma, the last bunch (witness) is injected at the proper accelerating phase gaining energy from the wake. The quality of the accelerated beam depends strongly on plasma density and its distribution along the acceleration length. The desired density can be achieved with a correct shaping of the capillary in which plasma is formed. The measurements of plasma density, as well as other plasma characteristics, can be performed with spectroscopic measurements of the plasma self emitted light. The measurement of density distribution for hydrogen filled capillaries is here reported.

	ELI-NP is a linac based gamma-source under construction in Magurele (RO) by the European consortium EuroGammaS led by INFN. Photons with tunable energy (from 0.2 to 19.5 MeV) and with unprecedented intensity and brilliance will be produced by Compton back-scattering between a high quality electron beam (up to 740 MeV), and a 515 nm intense laser pulse. In order to increase the gamma photon flux, the accelerator will operate in multi-bunch at 100 Hz repetition rate, with 32 bunches separated by 16 ns. Three S-band (2856 MHz) RF power plants will feed two room temperature Travelling Wave (TW) structures, a 1.6 cell Standing Wave (SW) S-band gun (which has been manufactured by means of a new technique based on clamped gaskets without brazing) and two SW RF deflectors for longitudinal beam diagnostics. Ten C-band (5712 MHz) RF power plants will feed 12 TW high-order-modes (HOM) damped structures. In this paper, we review the whole ELI-NP RF architecture including the Low Level RF (LLRF) system.

MOPMW004	Realization and High Power Tests of Damped C-Band Accelerating Structures for the ELI-NP Linac	399

Poletto INFN/LNL, Legnaro (PD), Italy L. Ficcadenti, F. Pellegrino, V. Pettinacci INFN-Roma, Roma, Italy
	The ELI-NP C-Band structures are 1.8 m long travelling wave accelerating structures, quasi-constant gradient, with a field phase advance per cell of 2pi/3. They operate at a repetition rate of 100 Hz and, because of the multi-bunch operation, they have been designed with a dipole HOM damping system to avoid beam break-up (BBU). The structures have symmetric input and output couplers and integrate, in each cell, a waveguide HOM damping systems with silicon carbide RF absorbers. An optimization of the electromagnetic and mechanical design has been done to simplify the fabrication and to reduce their cost. After the first full scale prototype successfully tested at the nominal gradient of 33 MV/m, the production of the twelve structures started. In the paper we illustrate the main design criteria, the realization process and the high power test results.

MOPMB018	Metrological Characterization of the Bunch Length Measurement by Means of a RF Deflector at the ELI-NP Compton Gamma source	122

	Bunch length measurement in linac can be carried out using a RF deflector, which provides a transverse kick to the beam. The transverse beam size on a screen, placed after the RF deflector, represents the bunch length. In this paper, the metrological characterization of the bunch length measurement technique is proposed. The uncertainty and the systematic errors are estimated by means of a sensitivity analysis to the measurement parameters. The proposed approach has been validated through simulation by means of ELEGANT code on the parameters interesting for the electron linac of the Compton source at the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP).

	A high brightness electron LINAC is being built in the Compton Gamma Source at the ELI Nuclear Physics facility in Romania. To achieve the design luminosity, a train of 32, 16 ns spaced, bunches with a nominal charge of 250 pC will collide with the laser beam in the interaction point. Electron beam spot size is measured with optical transition radiation profile monitors. In order to measure the beam properties along the train, the screens must sustain the thermal stress due to the energy deposited by the bunches; moreover the optical radiation detecting system must have the necessary accuracy and resolution. This paper deals with the analytical studies as well as numerical simulations to investigate the thermal behaviour of the screens impinged by the nominal bunch; the design and the performance of the optical detection line is discussed as well.

	Recently, a new technique for the realization of high gradient accelerating structures based on the use of gaskets without brazing processes, has been successfully tested at high power on a 1.6 cells RF gun (D. Alesini, et al, PRST 18, 02001, 2015). The new technique developed at the Laboratories of Frascati of the INFN (Italy) in the framework of the SPARC_LAB project has been also adopted for the ELI-NP RF gun. The use of the special gaskets that simultaneously guarantee the vacuum seal and a perfect RF contact allow to avoid the brazing process, strongly reducing the cost, the realization time and the risk of failure. Moreover, without copper annealing due to the brazing process, it is possible, in principle, to decrease the breakdown rate increasing, at the same time, the maximum achievable gradient. The extension of this new fabrication process to complex LINAC structures is the next step on the application of this new technique on particle accelerator. In the paper, we discuss how to extend this process to S-band and C-band Travelling Wave accelerating structures illustrating their electromagnetic design and their mechanical realization.
