The proposed LUXE experiment (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) at DESY, Hamburg, using the 16.5 GeV electron beam extracted from the European XFEL, aims to study collisions between high-intensity laser pulses and high-energy electron or secondary photon beams (unique feature at LUXE). This will elucidate quantum electrodynamics (QED) at the strong-field frontier, where the electromagnetic field of...
For C^3, approximately 2000 accelerator sub units must be positioned, within 10 um transversal, on a 2.3 km long straight line for each linac.
In the Rasnik alignment system, light from a point-like monochromatic source falls on a zone plate, forming a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern on an image pixel sensor. The alignment of three objects can be obtained by analyzing the position of the...
During the development of the NLC/JLC normal conducting X-band linear colliders, it became clear that the RF power flow in traveling wave accelerating structures correlates more with the RF breakdown rate than with the peak electric fields. To mitigate the adverse effects of RF power flow, low group velocity and standing wave accelerating structures optimized for lower RF input power have been...
We report on cold test measurements of an X-band (11.424 GHz) accelerator to provide electron beams for Very High Energy Electron therapy of cancer. The standing wave linac is designed with a 135° phase advance utilizing distributed coupling through four parallel manifolds. The accelerator is expected to reach a 100 MeV/m accelerating gradient in a one-meter structure using only 19 MW when...
The SLAC 75XP series klystron was developed in the late nineties / early 2000’s as a 60% efficient, 75 MW permanent magnet-focused klystron at X-band for the Next Linear Collider (NLC). SLAC is pursuing the latest design iteration of the 75XP series – the 75XP4 - for potential deployment in future colliders facilities like Cool Copper Collider. Here, we discuss the history and lessons learned...
