Description

The operational principles and the approach to mitigate electromagnetic field breakdowns in a corrugated structure of a sub-THz wakefield accelerator will be discussed. A design of the structure and its test using an electron beam will be presented. The analysis of an impulse heating of the structure with a high charge electron bunch will be shown. The results of calculations using COMSOL’s multi-physics model defining a threshold for beam induced heating of the structure will be discussed.
