Experiments were performed at The Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility to elucidate the effects of short-range wakefields (SRWs) in TESLA-type rf cavities. FAST has a unique configuration of a photocathode rf gun beam injecting two TESLA-type single cavities (CC1 and CC2) in series prior to the cryomodule. To investigate short-range wakefield effects, we have steered the beam to minimize the signals in the higher-order mode (HOM) detectors of CC1 and CC2 for a baseline, and then used a vertical corrector between the two cavities to steer the beam off axis at an angle into CC2. A Hamamatsu synchroscan streak camera viewing a downstream OTR screen provided an image of y-t effects within the micropulses with ~10-micron spatial resolution and 2-ps temporal resolution. At 500 pC/b, 50 b, and 4 mrad off-axis steering into CC2, we observed an ~ 100-micron head-tail centroid shift in the streak camera image y(t)-profiles. This centroid shift value is 5 times l arger than the observed HOM-driven centroid oscillation within the macropulse, and it is consistent with a calculated short-range wakefield effect using ASTRA simulations.
