Schematics of the NSRRC low energy thermionic rf gun linac system for ultrashort beam generation with velocity bunching.
Source publication
A low energy linac system equipped with a thermionic cathode rf gun is being built at NSRRC to demonstrate the concept of aggressive bunch compression by velocity bunching in the rf linac to produce high brightness GHz-repetition-rate femtosecond electron pulses. A beam with 30 pC bunch charge and pulse duration shorter than 100 fsec can be produce...

... electron pulses with few tens MeV beam energy found interesting applications on generation of intense coherent THz radiations and ultrafast X-rays [1,2]. An S-band linac system that employs the mechanism of velocity bunching in the early stage of acceleration in the rf linac for production of 20-30 MeV ultrashort electron beam is now under construction at NSRRC (Figure 1). In order to optimize velocity bunching, a high power phase shifter is installed for changing the linac injection phase. ...

Indus-2 is a 2.5 GeV electron storage ring and a national facility for synchrotron radiation users in India providing the photon beam in round the clock mode. Recently, the electron beam emittance of Indus-2 was reduced to one third of the normal operating optics (130 nm rad) with improved beam optics. Due to this reduced emittance, likelihood of f...
In the present work the Booster Cavity Simulation in Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ) was performed. The main purpose of these simulations was to obtain a simplified model of the booster cavity which should be used later during development of the automatic procedure of optimizing the electron beam trajectory through the boo...
The TESLA Test Facility Linac (TTFL) at DESY is in the commissioning phase. During 1997 a first accelerator module was tested successfully. Eight superconducting cavities have accelerated the beam to an energy of more than 120 MeV. The injected 10 MeV electron beam was produced by a subharmonic injector using a thermionic gun, a buncher cavity, and...
We study the spontaneous emission in high-gain free-electron lasers operating in the quantum regime and its detrimental effect on coherent emission. A quantum model describing the coherent and spontaneous emission in free electron lasers has been recently proposed and investigated [G. R. M. Robb and R. Bonifacio, Phys. Plasmas 19, 073101 (2012)]. T...
The modern radiation therapy is now one of the most powerful tools for the treatment of tumors and cancers. During these treatments, the quality of the operation and the clinical requirements are critical. Here in the present work, based on the beam dynamics of the electrons in RF cavities, a new design for enhancing the quality of bunches is propo...
