abstract:	Electron bunches with the unparalleled combination of high charge, low emittances, and short time duration, as first produced at the SLAC Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB), are foreseen to be produced at the SABER facility. These types of bunches have enabled wakefield driven accelerating schemes of multi-GV/m in plasmas. In the context of the Dielectric Wakefield Accelerators (DWA) such beams, having rms bunch length as short as 20 um, have been used to drive 100 um and 200 um ID hollow tubes above 20 GV/m surface fields. These FFTB tests enabled the measurement of a breakdown threshold in fused silica (with full data analysis still ongoing) [1]. With the construction and commissioning of the SABER facility at SLAC, new experiments would be made possible to test further aspects of DWAs including materials, tube geometrical variations, direct measurements of the Cerenkov fields, and proof of acceleration in tubes >10 cm in length. This collaboration will investigate breakdown thresholds and accelerating fields in new materials including CVD diamond. Here we describe the experimental plans, beam parameters, simulations, and progress to date as well as future prospects for machines based of DWA structures.

title:	Beam-Driven Dielectric Wakefield Accelerating Structure as a THz Radiation Source
format:	preprint
year:	2007
9 authors:	A. Kanareykin | O.B. Williams | R. Tikhoplav | A.M. Cook | H. Badakov | J. B. Rosenzweig | G. Travish | M.C. Thompson | R. J. England
abstract:	Experimental work is planned to study the performance of a beam-driven cylindrical dielectric wakefield accelerating structure as a source of THz coherent Cerenkov radiation (CCR). For an appropriate choice of dielectric tube geometry and driving electron bunch parameters, the device operates in a single-mode regime, producing radiation in the THz range. This source can potentially produce high power levels relative to currently available sources, with ~50 uJ radiated energy per pulse achievable using the electron beam currently in operation at the Neptune advanced accelerator laboratory at UCLA (~13 MeV beam energy, ~200 um RMS bunch length, ~500 pC bunch charge). Preparations underway for installation of the experiment are discussed.
