RF cavities are not only used to accelerate particle beams but they also kick beams or manipulate particles in the longitudinal phase space. They are used in linear and circular machines, some must have adjustable frequencies and some even accommodate multiple harmonics. Their operational use stretches from sub-per-mil duty cycles to continuous operation, they provide accelerating gradients...

We discuss recent progress in Terahertz and optical radiation generation and its use in acceleration and beam manipulation. The advantage of using short wavelength radiation is overcoming breakdown phenomena, enabling high gradient accelerators with lower bunch charge.

Radio-frequency (RF) systems in particle accelerators are usually designed to transfer energy to the beam or to define its longitudinal structure. However, charged particles passing through an RF cavity induce a voltage which acts back on themselves and on subsequent particles. The additional contribution of the beam to the cavity voltage moreover changes the effective properties of the RF...

In order to maximise the power delivered to the cavity we must minimise reflections. Reflections are minimised when the source and load impedances are equal, however this is difficult when the cavity impedance is orders of magnitude higher than the source. A power coupler acts like a transformer changing the cavity impedance “seen” by the source allowing matching. This lecture looks at what...
