Ultrafast electron probes are powerful tools, complementary to x-ray free-electron lasers, used study structural dynamics in material, chemical, and biological sciences. High brightness, relativistic beams with femtosecond pulse duration can resolve details of the dynamic processes on atomic time length scales. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory recently launched Electron Diffraction (UED) microscopy Initiative aiming at developing next generation ultrafast scattering instruments. As first...

A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed 2001 [P. Raimondi and A. Seryi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3779 (2001)]. This has many advantageous properties over previously studied schemes, including being significantly shorter a given energy having better bandwidth. Experimental results from ATF2 accelerator at KEK are presented that validate operating principle such by demonstrating demagnification 1.3 GeV electron beam down to below 65 nm height...

For high luminosity in electron-positron linear colliders, it is essential to generate low vertical emittance beams. We report on the smallest achieved single-bunch-mode operation of Accelerator Test Facility, which satisfies requirement x-band collider. The emittances were measured with a laser-wire beam-profile monitor installed damping ring. bunch length and momentum spread beam also recorded under same conditions. rms at intensity 4 pm energy 1.3 GeV, corresponds normalized 1.0x1.0(-8)...

The Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) is a scaled demonstrator system for final focus beam lines of linear high energy colliders. This paper describes the resolution cavity position monitor (BPM) system, which part ATF2 diagnostics. Two types BPMs are used, C-band operating at 6.423 GHz, and S-band 2.888 GHz with an increased aperture. cavities, electronics, digital processing described. attenuators was determined to be approximately 250 nm 1 m system. Without attenuation best recorded 27 nm.

The authors describe the design, construction, commissioning and ultimate uses of wire scanners in SLC (SLAC Linear Collider), focusing on linear accelerator upstream systems scanners. Of particular interest is interaction between scattered radiation from with extreme electric field beam. As this reaches level several volts/angstrom, as it does easily at point (and may parts SLC), emission occur. A key feature operation degree high active control required to keep optimized. Advanced software...

RF processing studies of 1.8-m X-band (11.4 GHz) traveling wave structures at the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) have revealed breakdown-related damage gradients lower than expected from earlier tests with standing and shorter, group velocity structures. To understand this difference, a series different velocities lengths are being processed. In parallel, efforts made to improve procedures reduce structure contaminants absorbed gases. This paper presents results these studies.

A full-scale prototype C-band structure for the e/sup +/e/sup -/ linear collider has been built in which dipole powers are damped to suppress long-range transverse wakefield. To verify that damping works as expected, was tested Accelerator Structure SETup (ASSET) at SLAC. This paper presents results of wakefield measurement with ASSET.
