A collaboration between the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)`s Microwave Source Facility and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory`s Collider Physics Group has been studying the feasibility of a relativistic klystron two-beam accelerator (RK-TBA) as a possible future linear collider. It is demonstrated in this simulation study that by using the scheme of operating rf extraction structures on the betatron nodes of electron drive beam in conjunction with adequate de-Q-ing, appropriate choice of geometries for the rf structures (reducing transverse impedance) and/or staggered tuning the authors can suppress the overall growth of transverse instabilities in a relativistic klystron two-beam accelerator to 4 e-fold.
