A linac-based MIR/THz free-electron laser facility is under the development at the Plasma and Beam Physics Research Facility, Chiang Mai University. The ultimate goal of the project is to generate the infrared radiation covering the wavelengths from 13 to 125 μm. The main applications of the radiation involved MIR/THz imaging and spectroscopy. The future FEL facility will consists of an injector system, an experimental station for coherent transition radiation, two magnetic bunch compressors and two undulator magnets equipped with optical cavities for MIR and THz beamlines. An expected electron beam energy is between 10 to 20 MeV with an energy spread of about or less than 1 %. Two undulator magnets with maximum undulator parameters of 1 and 0.95 will be used for generation of the THz-FEL and MIR-FEL, respectively. In this paper, we present the status of the design and construction of this future FEL facility.

Development of a linac-based MIR/THz FEL light source is ongoing at the Plasma and Beam Physics Research Facility, Chiang Mai University. The future facility will consist of an S-band thermionic cathode RF electron gun, a pre-magnetic bunch compressor in a form of alpha magnet, an S-band travelling-wave linac structure, a 180-degree achromat system and two undulator magnets equipped with optical cavities. This research focuses on start-to-end beam dynamics simulations of the injector system. The aim of the study is to produce high quality electron beam at the entrance of the THz undulator magnet. The simulation was conducted by using programs PARMELA and ELEGANT. The program PARMELA was utilized to study the electron beam dynamics inside the RF-gun. Then, the program ELEGANT was used to optimize the injector system parameters. Optimization of physical specifications for the achromat system was performed to obtain short electron bunches with small energy spread at the undulator entrance. In this paper, results of beam dynamics simulations with suitable condition for the THz-FEL beamline are presented and discussed.
