  In the framework of the Compact Light XLS project, a Ka-band linearizer with electric field ranging from 100 to 150 MV/m is requested. In order to feed this structure, a proper Ka-band high power klystron amplifier with a high efficiency is needed. This paper reports a possible solution for a klystron amplifier operating on the TM010 mode at 36 GHz, the third harmonic of the 12 GHz linac frequency, with an efficiency of 44% and 10.6 MW radiofrequency output power. We discuss also here the high-power DC gun with the related magnetic focusing system, the RF beam dynamics and finally the multiphysics analysis of a high- power microwave window for a Ka-band klystron providing 16MW of peak power.

Proposals for new linear accelerator-based facilities are flourishing world-wide with the aim of high spectral brilliance radiation sources. Most of these accelerators are based on electron beams, with a variety of applications in industry, research and medicine such as colliders, free-electron lasers, wake-field accelerators, coherent THz and inverse Compton scattering X/’ sources as well as high-resolution diagnostics tools in biomedical science. In order to obtain high-quality electron beams in a small footprint, we present the optimization design of a C-band linear accelerator machine. Driven by a novel compact C-band hybrid photoinjector, it will yield ultra-short electron bunches of few 100’s pC directly from injection with ultra-low emittance, fraction of mm-mrad, and a few hundred fs length simultaneously, therefore satisfying full 6D emittance compensation. The normal-conducting linacs are based on a novel high-efficiency design with gradients up to 50 MV/m. The beam maximum energy can be easily adjusted in the mid-GeV’s range. In this paper, we discuss the start-to-end beam-dynamics simulations in details.

Beam dynamics studies are performed in the context of a C-Band hybrid photo-injector project developed by a collab- oration between UCLA/Sapienza/INFN-LNF/RadiaBeam. These studies aim to explain beam behaviour through the beam-slice evolution, using analytical and numerical approaches. An understanding of the emittance oscillations is obtained starting from the slice analysis, which allows correlation of the position of the emittance minima with the slope of the slices in the transverse phase space (TPS). At the end, a significant reduction in the normalized emittance is obtained by varying the transverse shape of the beam while assuming a longitudinal Gaussian distribution. Indeed, the emittance growth due to nonlinear space-charge fields has been found to occur immediately after moment of the beam emission from the cathode, giving insight into the optimum laser profile needed for minimizing the emittance.

The luminosity requirements of TeV-class linear colliders demand use of intense charged beams at high repetition rates. Such features imply multi-bunch operation with long current trains accelerated over the km length scale. Consequently, particle beams are exposed to the mutual parasitic interaction due to the long-range wakefields excited by the leading bunches in the accelerating structures. Such perturbations to the motion induce transverse oscillations of the bunches, potentially leading to instabilities such as transverse beam break-up. Here we present a dedicated tracking code that studies the effects of long-range transverse wakefield interaction among different bunches in linear accelerators. Being described by means of an efficient matrix formalism, such effects can be included while preserving short computational times. As a reference case, we use our code to investigate the performance of a state-of-the-art linear collider currently under design and, in addition, we discuss possible mitigation techniques based on frequency detuning and damping.

  Translation of electron FLASH radiotherapy in clinical practice requires the use of high energy accelerators to treat deep tumours and Very High Electron Energy (VHEE) could represent a valid technique to achieve this goal. In this sce- nario, a VHEE FLASH linac is under study at the University La Sapienza of Rome (Italy) in collaboration with the Italian Institute for Nuclear Research (INFN) and the Curie Insti- tute (France). Here we present the preliminary results of a compact C-band system aiming to reach an high accelerating gradient and an high pulse current necessary to deliver high dose per pulse and ultra-high dose rate required for FLASH effect. We propose a system composed of a low energy high current injector linac followed by a modular section of high accelerating gradient structures. CST code is used to define the required LINAC’s RF parameters and beam dynamics simulations are performed using T-Step, ASTRA and GPT tracking codes.
