The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator group (AWA) has been using high Charge bunch-trains (>450 nC) for structure wakefield RF power generation and high power testing (100 s of MW) for many years. These experiments involve fast beam-tuning for high charge transmission through small aperture wakefield structures over a large range of charge levels. The success of these experiments depends on real-time, non-destructive, fast charge measurements with devices that are robust in the high-charge and high-powered RF environment. AWA uses Bergoz Integrating Charge Transformers (ICT) which are ideal for these critical charge measurements. The devices used, the method developed and its application are detailed.

A high-gradient X-band (11.7-GHz) photoinjector developed by Euclid Techlabs, was recently commissioned at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The system comprises a 1+1/2-cell RF gun powered by short RF pulses generated as a train of high-charge bunches from the AWA accelerator passes through a slow-wave power extraction and transfer structure. The RF photoinjector was reliably operating with electric fields in excess of 300 MV/m on the photocathode surface free of breakdown and with an insignificant dark-current level. We report on the RF-gun setup, commissioning, and the associated beam generation via photoemission.

The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) is planning to upgrade its photoinjector for the drive-beam accelerator. The main goal of the upgrade is to improve the beam brightness using a symmetrized RF-gun cavity. In the process, the photoinjector was reconfigured and some of the solenoid magnets redesigned. A challenging aspect of this optimization is that the injector should be able to produce bright low-charge (~1 nC) bunches while also being capable of operating at high-charge (~50 nC) bunches. This paper will discuss the optimization of the beam dynamics for the low- and high-charge cases and explore the performances of the proposed configuration using a model of the full AWA drive-beam beamline including 3D field maps for the external electromagnetic fields. The optimizations are performed with ASTRA and the DEAP toolbox and with OPAL.
