The University of Mainz’ institute for nuclear physics is operating the microtron cascade MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) since the late 1970ies. The microtron delivers a cw electron beam to users of the hadron physics community. The recent, fourth stage MAMI-C having a design energy of 1.5 GeV is operated since 2006 [1]. This article deals with the recent developments and operational experiences of M...

Sub-picosecond electron pulses are desirable for generating femtosecond X-ray pulses. By numerical simulation, it has become clear that racetrack microtron (RTM) has unique features to produce very short electron bunches by itself. In addition, it has proved experimentally that RTM has beneficial characteristics to accelerate only an excellent quality beam in both emittance and energy spread. T...

We consider three types of electron accelerators that can be used for various applications, such as industrial, medical, cargo inspection, and isotope production require small- medium-sized machines, namely classical microtron (CM), race-track (RTM), multisection linac. review the principles their operation, specific features beam dynamics in these discuss advantages weak points, compare techni...

In order to obtain high gain m a free electron laser a high-quality electron beam with high peak current is required . It is well-known that a microtron is able to produce a high-quality beam having low etntttance and small energy spread (1%0). Because a circular nucrotron has a linuted high-current capability a race-track design is adopted for providing flexibility, better beam quality and of ...

We have designed, constructed, and evaluated a Rectangular Cavities Biperiodic Structure prototype for our compact 70 MeV pulsed RaceTrack Microtron [1]. We present here the design details and test measurements.

ANKA is a 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source under construction at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. The facility consists of a 53 MeV microtron, an injection line, a 500 MeV booster synchrotron, and the ejection line. The whole injector is being built as a turn key system by the industry (Danfysik, Denmark). The interface between the injector and the storage ring is the entrance of the injection ...
