“…New broadband coupling and high-shunt-impedance structures are needed to demonstrate high-efficiency, high-gradient short-pulse accelerators. New trends of metallic and dielectric accelerators at cryogenic temperatures, special coating, and parallel feeding have been explored in recent years [25,[69][70][71], as well as new fabrication techniques to lower fabrication costs. In order to push forward the SWFA roadmap, despite the significant progress that has been made in the past, many challenging issues, particularly the beam dynamics related issues, should be resolved in the coming decade.…”
