The Next Linear Collider test accelerator: Status and results
At SLAC, the authors are pursuing the design of a Next Linear Collider (NLC) which would begin with a center-of-mass energy of 0.5 TeV, and would be upgradable to 1.0 TeV and beyond. To achieve this high energy, for the past several years they have been working on the development of a high-gradient 11.4-GHz (X-band) linear accelerator for the main linac of the collider. In this paper, they present the status and initial results from the ``Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator`` (NLCTA). The goal of the NLCTA is to model the high gradient linac of the NLC. It incorporates the new technologies of X-band accelerator structures, rf pulse compression systems and high-power klystrons into a 0.5 to 1.0 GeV linac which is a test bed for beam dynamics issues related to high-gradient acceleration.
