Operation of the Aps Rf Gun

چکیده
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) has a thermioniccathode rf gun system capable of providing beam to the APS linac. The gun system consists of a 1.6-cell thermionic-cathode rf gun, a fast kicker for beam current control, and an alpha magnet for bunch compression and injection into the APS linac line. This system is intended for use both as an injector for positron creation, and as a first beam source for the Low-Energy Undulator Test Line (LEUTL) project [1]. The first measured performance characteristics of the gun are presented.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS), a premier thirdgeneration synchrotron radiation source, presently operates in top-up mode during most user run time. During top-up mode, charge is injected into the storage ring at approximately 2-minute intervals to stabilize the stored beam current to within 0.1%. Top-up mode requires the dedicated use of the entire APS injector system, severely limiting time...

Last year a second-generation SSRL-type thermionic cathode rf gun was installed in the Advanced Photon Source (APS) linac. This gun (referred to as “gun2”) has been successfully commissioned and now serves as the main injector for the APS linac, essentially replacing the Koontz-type DC gun. To help ensure injector availability, particularly with the advent of top-up mode operation at the APS, a...

At the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), a free-electron laser (FEL) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) process is nearing completion. Recently, an rf photoinjector gun system was made available to the APS by Brookhaven National Laboratory/Accelerator Test Facility (BNL/ATF). It will be used to provide the highbrightness, low-emittance, and ...

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) photocathode rf gun is the primary beam source for the APS Low-Energy Undulator Test Line (LEUTL) free-electron laser (FEL) experiment. In the current operating regime of LEUTL, peak current has been the dominant factor in determining FEL performance. As LEUTLs operational wavelength is reduced, however, the beam emittance will play an increasingly important ro...

We describe use of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) rf thermionic gun [1], alpha-magnet beamline, and linac [2] to produce a stable high-brightness beam in excess of 100 amperes peak current with normalized emittance of 10 π mm-mrad. To obtain peak currents greater than 100 amperes, the rf gun system must be tuned to produce a FWHM bunch length on the order of 350 fs. Bunch lengths this short a...
