W-Band Free-Electron Lasers for High-Gradient Structure Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze two designs for W-Band free electron lasers for application as laboratory instruments in the study of millimeter wave accelerators at high gradient. The first design is based on the linear induction accelerator LELIA (CEA/CESTA, France), employs a 1kA, 80-ns electron pulse, and corresponds to a helical TE11 200MW W-Band amplifier design. We analyze also a W-Band planar ubitron design making use of a SLACmodulator, operating with a 480 kV, 300 A, sheet beam gun and producing a 5 MW, 1μs pulse.

Free-electron Lasers: Vacuum Electronic Generators of Coherent Radiation
Vacuum electronic sources have shown marked improvement since the invention of the magnetron before World War II, and dramatic increases in both average powers and frequencies have been achieved. Of course, much of these gains have been achieved by the development of different devices. The typical development pattern for a given device exhibits an initial period of rapid improvement followed by...
متن کاملDielectric Wakefield Accelerator to Drive the Future FEL Light Source
X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are expensive instruments and a large part of the cost of the entire facility is driven by the accelerator. Using a high-energy gain dielectric wake-field accelerator (DWA) instead of the conventional accelerator may provide a significant cost saving and reduction of the facility size. In this article, we investigate using a collinear dielectric wakefield accel...
