commission first new linac tank & generate high charge bunch trains with new gun

civil construction, electrical, etc

move and flip witness gun

run experiments using witness beam

install & commission beamline switchyard

start experiments with new drive beam

install & commission more linac tanks

New linac tanks delivered 75 MeV beam

Presented to DOE: March 2013

AWA PROJECTS

• DL: High Q, 19 MeV Train (Measure: Current, Flatness)• DL: High Q, 75 MeV Single Bunch (Measure: charge,

energy, bunch length, emittance )• DL: High Q, 75 MeV Train, (Measure: Charge Flatness,

Energy Droop)• DL: 11.7GHz metallic wakefield power

extractor(16x60nC)• DL: 26GHz Dielectric Based Wakefield Power Extractor

with BBU solenoid (16x20nC)• WL: Ring beam and coaxial two channel structure • WL: EEX based bunch shaping• Many more…

*Each project is assigned a PI by Wei

Meetings1. AWA group meeting

1. Frequency: Weekly2. Purpose: discuss plan for that week3. Participants: everyone

2. Project meetings (PI initiated)1. Frequency: As needed (weekly in begin) 2. Purpose: discuss plan for that week3. Participants: as required

3. System meetings (system lead initiated)1. Frequency: As needed (weekly in begin) 2. Purpose: discuss plan for that week3. Participants: as required

4. Priorities Meeting (called by Wei)1. Frequency: As needed?? Monthly?? Quarterly??2. Purpose: Are we going in the right direction? Review AWA schedule3. Participants: as required

PRIORITIES (highest level meeting)1. Demonstrate 1 GW2. Witness gun experiments

1. Ring beam2. coaxial two channel structure 2nd run

3. Demonstrate the high current drive beam in the new AWA drive beamline 4. Can we get 1 GW with minimal diagnostics. (deflecting cavity, emittance,

energy?)5. Purchase EEX equipment6. Clean and install EEX beamline7. Installation of LLRF feedback8. Improvement of Modulator9. Improvement of Control System10. Improvement of Multisplitter
