Description

A description of the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator is presented, pointing out the unique capabilities of the facility. A photocathode RF gun produces electron bunches with tens of nanocoulombs of charge, which are used to excite wakefields. A second photocathode RF gun generates electron bunches that are used to probe these wakefields. An overview of the experimental program carried out at the facility is also presented
