| An injector system that based on rf gun technology is being constructed at NSRRC. This will be a 100 MeV beam injector that consists of an rf linac with a thermionic cathode rf gun as electron source. The superior performance and special configuration of the thermionic rf gun system made it an attractive option as a reliable pre-injector booster synchrotron. In cooperation with an alpha-magnet as low energy bunch compressor, ultra-fast electron beam pulses as short as 100 fs can be generated from the thermionic cathode rf gun for generation of intense coherent short wavelength radiations, production of femto-second electron and wavelength tunable ultra-fast X-ray pulses. First operation of the thermionic rf gun will be presented. |
