Abstract: (AIP)
We are investigating the possibility of accelerating particles with high gradients in a ‘‘Wake Field Transformer’’ [1,2]. The progress of this experiment will be described. The development of the high current hollow beam electron gun was continued. In the conventional linac, the hollow beam was accelerated to about 6 MeV. Beam monitors came into operation, two gap monitors, two fluorescent monitors and a Čerenkov monitor. Calculations with the computer code WAKTRACK[3] gave the final details for the high energy section of the accelerator that will be installed during 1986.
