abstract = {{Metamaterials (MTMs) are engineered materials that can show exotic electromagnetic properties such as simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. MTMs are promising candidates for structure-based wakefield acceleration structures, which can mitigate the impact of radio frequency (RF) breakdown, thus achieving a high gradient. Previous experiments carried out at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) successfully demonstrated MTM structures as efficient power extraction and transfer structures (PETS) from a high-charge drive beam. Here we present the design, fabrication, and cold test of an X-band MTM accelerator structure for acceleration of the witness beam in the two-beam acceleration scheme. The MTM structure design was performed using the CST Studio Suite, with the unit cell and the complete multi-cell periodic structure both optimized for high gradient. Cold test of the fabricated structure shows good agreement with simulation results. Future work includes a beam test at AWA to study the short-pulse RF breakdown physics in the MTM structure, as an important component towards a future compact linear collider based on two-beam acceleration.}},
