Theoretical and Experimental Studies of a Novel Accelerating Structure

Abstract

Research during the past year has concentrated on a novel, two-beam accelerator (twobetron) which was conceived. This idea was published in Physical Review Letters and a patent application was filed. Accomplishments include the following: (1) Theoretical analysis of the new technique for phase-focusing this new accelerator; (2) Theory of e-beam modulation, BBU and other issues; (3) Initial generation and transport of an annular electron beam; (4) Design and fabrication of model/prototype accelerator cavities; and (5) Initial cold tests of accelerator cavities. Electron beams, Accelerators, Beam-breakup instability.
