Ampere Average Current Photoinjector and Energy Recovery Linac*
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-power Free-Electron Lasers were made possible by advances in superconducting linacs operated in energy-recovery mode. In order to get to very high power levels, say a fraction of a megawatt average power, many technological barriers are yet to be broken. We describe work on CW, high-current and high-brightness electron beams. This will include descriptions of a superconductinglaser-photocathode RF gun employing a new secondary-emission multiplying cathode and a superconducting accelerator cavity, both capable of producing of the order of one ampere average current, as well asand plans for an ERL based on these units.

Characterization of a Pwt Photoinjector at Heavy Beam Loading*
* This work is supported by DOE SBIR No. DE-FG03-96ER82156. Abstract Performance of a single-section, S-band, Plane-WaveTransformer (PWT) photoelectron linac is characterized by a high (multi-ampere) average current required for advanced applications such as Compton x-ray sources and linear collider. Single bunch dynamics and multi-bunch beam loading effects are considered. Threshold current fo...
متن کاملAnalysis of Halo Formation in a Dc Photoinjector
We discovered, by modeling the AES/JLab directcurrent photoinjector with several beam-simulation codes, that nominal injector settings would create a large diffuse beam halo as a consequence of the internal space-charge force in the beam. The injector-induced halo is sensitive to the injector settings, but if the settings are judiciously chosen, it can be largely circumvented. We present an exp...
متن کاملOptimization and beam dynamics of a superconducting radio-frequency gun
Recent advances in superconducting radio-frequency (RF) technology and a better understanding of RF photoinjector design optimization make it possible to propose a specific design for a superconducting RF gun that can simultaneously produce both ultra-high peak brightness and high average current. Such a device is a critical component of next generation X-ray sources, such as self-amplified spo...
متن کاملSTATUS OF THE bERLinPro MAIN LINAC MODULE*
Beam operation of the bERLinPro energy recovery linac project, whose construction is under way, will initially start using the photoinjector and booster modules. In a second step the recirculation beam line and the main Linac module will be added. Here the current design status of the main linac module is described. Results of wake field simulations are compared for different set ups. We also r...
متن کاملPhase I Energy Recovery Linac at Cornell
Cornell University, in collaboration with Jefferson Lab, has proposed a novel X-ray source based on the energy recovery linac (ERL) concept [1, 2]. Such a source will exceed the brightness of third generation synchrotron light facilities and will also allow ultra short X-ray pulses and variable pulse formats, to enhance existing, and promote new applications in X-ray science. A multi-GeV ERL sy...
