Recent experiments at SLAC [1,2] and CERN [3] have revealed evidence of significant deformation in the form of pitting of the cells of the 1.8m series of structures DDS/RDDS (Damped Detuned Structure/Rounded Damped Detuned Structure). This pitting occurs in the high group velocity (vg /c = 0.012) end of the accelerating structure and little evidence of breakdown has been found in the lower group velocity end of the structure. Additional, albeit preliminary experimental evidence, suggests that shorter and lower group velocity structures have reduced breakdown events with increasing accelerating field strengths. Two designs are presented here, firstly a 90cm structure consisting of 83 cells with an initial vg/c = 0.0506 (known as H90VG5) and secondly, an even shorter structure of length 60cm consisting of 55 cells with an initial vg /c = 0.03 (known as H60VG3). The feasibility of using these structures to accelerate a charged beam over 10km is investigated. The particular issue focussed upon is suppression of the dipole wakefields via detuning of the cell frequencies and by locally damping individual cells in order to avoid BBU (Beam Break Up). Results are presented on beam-induced dipole wakefields and on the beam dynamics encountered on tracking the progress of the beam through several thousand accelerating structures. [1] C.

Earlier RDDS (Rounded Damped Detuned Structures) [1,2], designed, fabricated and tested at SLAC, in collaboration with KEK, have been shown to damp wakefields successfully. However, electrical breakdown has been found to occur in these structures and
The application of a high electrical field on metallic surfaces leads to the well described phenomena of breakdown. In the classical scenario, explosive electron emission (EEE), breakdown (BD) originates from an emitting site (surface protrusion). Th
The main linacs of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) will contain several thousand X-band RDDS (Rounded Damped Detuned Structures). The transverse wakefield in the structures is reduced by detuning the modal frequencies such that they destructively inte
The main features of radio-frequency linear accelerators are introduced, reviewing the different types of accelerating structures and presenting the main characteristics aspects of linac beam dynamics.
Modeling of laser-plasma wakefield accelerators in an optimal frame of reference cite{VayPRL07} is shown to produce orders of magnitude speed-up of calculations from first principles. Obtaining these speedups requires mitigation of a high-frequency i
