Abstract: (submitter)
Resistive-wall impedance constitutes a significant percentage of the total beam-coupling impedance budget of an accelerator. Under extreme conditions, like large power handling and ultrahigh vacuum, metamaterial-based absorbers can represent a valid alternative to other approaches for impedance mitigation in specific accelerator components, like resonant (parasitic) cavities or collimators operating along the beam line. We design sub-wavelength 2D metallic resonant structures based on split rings or on 3D hyperbolic tapered waveguide arrays that can be employed as mode dampers in accelerating structures. A number of prototypes are fabricated and then measured in a “test model” pillbox cavity.
