The accelerator research program at SLAC performs research on accelerator technology and particle beam physics pushing both energy and luminosity in high-energy electron colliders. Research ranges from development of existing facilities, to work toward next generation linear colliders, as well as the design of new techniques and devices for high-gradient acceleration and focusing for electron linear colliders up to 5 TeV. Work involves collaborations with physicists from several universities, other laboratories and the private sector.

A highly accurate self-consistent particle code to simulate the beam-beam collision in e+ e— storage rings has been developed. It adopts a method of solving the Poisson equation with an open boundary. The method consists of two steps: assigning the potential on a finite boundary using the Green’s function, and then solving the potential inside the boundary with a fast Poisson solver. The method allows us to select much smaller region of mesh and therefore increase the resolution of the solver. The luminosity simulated with this method agrees quantitatively with the measurement for the PEP-II B factory ring in the linear and nonlinear beam current regimes, demonstrating its predictive capability in detail.
To make a direct comparison between simulation and experimental observation, we have recorded the luminosity during a period of four hours on October 1, 2000. The plot shows the measured and simulated luminosities at the same beam current.

In a two-beam linear collider the energy is first stored in a low energy high current drive beam. This beam is decelerated to provide the energy for high gradient acceleration of the high-energy electron and positron beams. On the top you see a configuration that uses recirculation to accelerate the drive beam. On the bottom you see a method for increasing the energy of the NLC with an additional two-beam power source from 1 TeV to 1.7 TeV.
TWO—BEAM LINEAR COLLIDERTWO—BEAM LINEAR COLLIDER
In collaboration with KEK and FNAL we are working on the design of X-band accelerator structures for the Next Linear Collider. The primary thrust of this work is the suppression of the effects of long range dipole wakefields by a factor of 100 or more through detuning and damping of the dipole modes in the structure. Other important goals include achieving stable operation for accelerating gradients of up to 100 MeV/m, optimizing the RF efficiency, integral beam position monitors within the structure, and developing the fabrication technology. We are now studying short low group velocity traveling wave structures and even shorter standing wave structures because they run more reliably at high gradients than the 1.8 m long structures we have built in the past.

Phase response
The programmable digital signal processing allows fine specification of the magnitude and phase response of the feedback control filter. This example shows a narrowband controller for the DAFNE electron ring. Implemented as an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter (impulse response is shown in the top figure) the controller has gain only within the 28 to 34 kHz band and provides significant rejection of the out-of-band noise. These IIR control techniques have been developed in conjunction with theinstallation of third harmonic RF cavities in the ALS and BESSY-II.

A digital bunch-by-bunch longitudinal feedback system has been developed for use at PEP-II (SLAC), ALS (LBL), DAFNE (LNF-INFN) and 5 other European, US and Asian laboratories. The system utilizes the power of the programmable signal processing for numerous diagnostic and accelerator measurement purposes in conjunction with the feedback control task.

Multimoded components and systems have been invented at SLAC. These components handle two to four modes simultaneously. The systems that could be built with these components are compact and efficient. We use planer geometry to take advantage of the planer symmetry in the third dimensions. This dimension could be increased to any desired value to reduce the field and increase the high power handling capabilitites. To connect these components to circular waveguides a special circular to rectangular multimoded tapers have been designed.
Because of the requirements of the Next Linear Collider high-power rf systems, passive microwave components have been developed during the last few years. The power handling capabilities of these
components have increased considerably. This has been achieved by increasing the size of these components with respect to the operating wavelength, i.e., by overmoding these components. Similar attempts have been
made to increase the power handling capabilities of active semiconductor components. A switch made from a PIN diode array has been developed to operate in an overmoded waveguide carrying the TE01 mode. The system has operated at power levels up to 13 MW.

A general numerical method has been developed to follow the probability distribution in phase space as a function of time. The technique, based on discretization of the local Perron-Frobenius operator, is simple in concept, easy to implement, and numerically stable in examples studied to date. Applied to the SLC damping rings, the method gives the observed current threshold for bunch lengthening, and several aspects of observed behavior above threshold, including the presence of a bursting or sawtooth mode.
Collimators are often used in storage rings and accelerators to remove large-amplitude particles from the transverse profile of the beam. To suppress the wakefield, a tapered collimator jaws are preferable, as shown in Figure. An analytical theory of wakefields has been developed for both round and rectangular geometries of small-angle tapers. Theoretical predictions agree well with recent measurements of collimator wakes at the SLC linac.
