We have measured the THz near-field in order to inform the design of improved THz-frequency accelerating structures. THz-frequency accelerating structures could provide the accelerating gradients needed for next generation particle accelerators with compact, GV/m-scale devices. One of the most promising THz generation techniques for accelerator applications is optical rectification in lithium niobate using the tilted pulse front method. However, accelerator applications are limited by significant losses during transport of THz radiation from the generating nonlinear crystal to the acceleration structure. In addition, the spectral properties of high-field THz sources make it difficult to couple THz radiation into accelerating structures. A better understanding of the THz near-field source properties is necessary for the optimization of THz transport and coupling. We have developed a technique for detailed measurement of the THz near-fields and used it to reconstruct the full temporal 3D THz near-field close to the LN emission face. Analysis of the results from this measurement will inform designs of novel structures for use in THz particle acceleration.

We report on the design of mm-wave accelerator structures operating near 100 GHz. Simulations of the cavity geometry and RF coupling are performed in ANSYS-HFSS and using SLAC’s parallel electromagnetic code suite ACE3P. We present experimental results for structures fabricated from copper, niobium, and copper plated with NbTiNi. We report on techniques for tuning these high frequency structures, as well as preliminary brazing results. A mm-wave accelerator cavity enables not only a high achievable gradient due to higher breakdown thresholds, but also reduced fill times which decrease pulsed heating and allow for higher repetition rates. We discuss the potential advantages and challenges for applications requiring ultra-compact structures.
