Abstract
The research and development of a C-band (5712 MHz) high gradient traveling-wave accelerating structure has been in progress for some years at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Conceptual design of the accelerating structure has been accomplished, and verified by cold testing an experimental model. The first prototype structure is now ready for high RF power tests. To develop a robust high gradient C-band accelerating structure, an optimized constant gradient structure with a 4π/5 operating mode for future X-ray Free Electron Laser facilities is proposed in this paper. This scheme can improve the breakdown stability and beam quality. The high power RF system, four operating modes and disk iris shape are analyzed and optimized.
