چکیده
We report the characteristics and performance of the UCLA S-band compact electron accelerator, consisting of a high brightness, 8 cm long, photo-injector with a copper cathode, followed by a 42 cm long plane wave transformer accelerating structure, delivering a beam energy of 10 MeV. The photo-electrons are produced by a 266 nm laser pulse of less than 4 ps in duration. Over time the laser induced electron emission decreases and the emission from the cathode surface becomes structured. Measurements of the quantum efficiency for Cu before and after this degradation are presented along with images of the non uniform electron emission.

The NLC Positron Source
A baseline design for the NLC positron source based on the existing SLC positron system is described. The proposed NLC source consists of a dedicated S-band electron accelerator, a conventional positron production and capture system utilizing a high-Z target and an adiabatic matching device, and an L-band positron linac. The invariant transverse acceptance of the capture system is 0.06 m⋅rad, e...
متن کاملStudy of a novel compact standing wave RF linac
A novel, compact RF linac structure, the plane wave transformer (PWT), is studied. The PWT provides high accelerating field and high efficiency, and can be used to accelerate high-brightness beams. PWT linac prototypes with eight cells at S-band have been developed at UCLA and successfully used to accelerate an electron beam by more than 10 MeV in 40 cm. In this paper, we describe the principal...
متن کاملA Derivative Standard for Polarimeter Calibration*
A long-standing problem in polarized electron physics is the lack of a traceable standard for calibrating electron spin polarimeter. While several polarimeter are absolutely calibrated to better than 2%, the typical instrument has an inherent accuracy no better than 10%. This variability among polarimeter makes it difficult to compare advances in polarized electron sources between laboratories....
متن کاملInitial measurements of the UCLA rf photoinjector
An rf photocathode gun which, along with a compact linac, forms the injection system for a planned 10 mm free-electron laser amplifier experiment, has been commissioned m the Particle Beam Physics Laboratory at UCLA. This high-gradient gun, based on the Brookhaven design, has emitted several picosecond, > 100 A electron beams of up to 4 MeV in energy . These beams have been characterized by a v...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...
