چکیده

The status of the Rossendorf superconducting RF gun is discussed. This gun allows continuous wave operation with an energy of 9.5 MeV and an average current of 1mA. The 31⁄2 cell niobium cavity contains a normal conducting photocathode. A special choke flange filter at the cathode side prevent the RF leakage of the cavity. The design of the cavity, the tuner, the RF coupler the LHevessel together with the cryostat is finished and now in manufacturing. In the paper three features are discussed, which follows from the special demands of the 31⁄2 cell superconducting RF gun. The first feature is the tuning system. For the cavity two different tuners are necessary, one for the half cell (gun cell) and one for the accelerating cells. The second feature is the tuning of the cathode. The beam properties depend very sensitive on the cathode position. Therefore a special cathode tuner has been developed, which allows to move and to adjust the cathode position inside the cavity. The third no conventional feature is the excitation of a second RF mode inside the cavity. This is a magnetic mode (TE mode) which replaces the static magnetic field in normal conducting RF guns and decreases the transverse emittance of the beam by more than a factor of two.

Cathode Insert Design for SC RF Guns

The cathode inserts in superconducting (SC) RF guns are normal conducting devices attached to a SC RF gun cavity. They enable the photocathode replacement and, at the same time, preserve high quality factor and high fields in the RF guns. However, the insert may also limit the gun performance because of multipacting etc. The experience gathered in early designs at Wuppertal [1], and, more recen...

Rf Focussing - an Instrument for Beam Quality Improvement in Superconducting Rf Guns

Rf electron guns require an external magnetic field focussing to produce a low emittance electron beam. A dc magnetic field focuses electrons in the beam already inside the cavity as they leave the photocathode. In superconducting rf guns (srf) the possibility of external magnetic focussing is quite limited. In this paper we investigate an effect of rf focussing in the first half cell of a 3+1/...
