Wakefield Transformer Ratio
Transformer ratio limited: R≤2 @ a longitudinally symmetric drive bunch, but it can be enhanced greater than 2 using asymmetric bunch.
Transformer ratio R =Max energy gain of the witness bunch
Max energy loss of the drive bunch

The latest experiment by joint effort from Euclid Techlabs and AWA (2010)*
What’s the same comparing to the previous experiment? Same Ramped Bunch Train Technique. Same DLA Structure
What’s new comparing to the previous experiment? Laser stacking technique to elongate the bunch
length of AWA beam. Improved data taking conditions (upgraded LLRF, remotely
controlled delay line for the witness bunch, independent controlled shutter for each bunch, etc.)
*Results will appear in PRSTAB soon.

Tunable DLA Structure
By introducing an extra nonlinear ferroelectric layer which has dielectric constant sensitive to temperature and DC, the frequency of a DLA structure can be tuned on the fly by controlling the temperature or DC voltage.

Wakefield Experiment
The experiment demonstrated that by varying the temperature of the structure over a 50C temperature range, the energy of a witness bunch at a fixed delay with respect to the drive beam could be changed by an amount corresponding more than half of the nominal structure wavelength.

Bench Test---DC Voltage
Although introduction of a high DC voltage to a tunable DLA structure in the vacuum environment appears to be challenging at this moment, this approach is still attractive because of its extremely short response time compared to the temperature control. One can conclude the best solution for the future tunable DLA structures would be a combination of ”coarse” but slow temperature tuning by 100s of MHz and rapid fine tuning with high voltage dc biasing applied.

Summary
•Wakefield transformer ratio of 3.4 has been achieved in the recent experiment at AWA facility with help of the elongated bunch length.
•A novel low loss BSTM ferroelectric material has been used in dielectric based accelerators as a method of frequency tuning. Wakefield acceleration experiment show an excellent tuning capability through control of either temperature.
