Origin and reduction of wakefields in photonic crystal accelerator cavities
Photonic crystal (PhC) defect cavities that support an accelerating mode tend
to trap unwanted higher-order modes (HOMs) corresponding to zero-group-velocity
PhC lattice modes at the top of the bandgap. The effect is explained quite
generally from photonic band and perturbation theoretical arguments. Transverse
wakefields resulting from this effect are observed in a hybrid dielectric PhC
accelerating cavity based on a triangular lattice of sapphire rods. These
wakefields are, on average, an order of magnitude higher than those in the
waveguide-damped Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) copper cavities. The avoidance
of translational symmetry (and, thus, the bandgap concept) can dramatically
improve HOM damping in PhC-based structures.Comment: 11 pages, 18 figures, 2 table
