Construction of a high energy linear accelerator for research in free electron lasers, beam-wave interactions, spectroscopy and microcircuitry fabrication
Abstract
A long pulse, high brightness 45 MeV linear accelerator has been constructed for use as a driver for free electron laser and beam wave experiments, and as the first section of a 1 GeV injector for a high brightness electron storage ring. This contract has led to: (1) demonstration of the highest gradient and longest pulse length yet achieved in a 3 meter S-band SLAC-type travelling wave accelerator section; and (2) demonstration of the high current and high current density attainable through the use of a strong microwave field to replace the dc electric field usually used in linac electron guns.
