The low-energy electron accelerator with subpicosecond electron bunches is under construction at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). It will serve as the user facility for high-energy ultrafast electron difraction and synchronized high-power terahertz pulse and short x-ray pulse generation. The accelerator consists of RF gun with photocathode and 20-MeV linac. The bunching of accelerated beam is achieved in the ninety-degree achromatic bend. After that fast kicker deflects some of bunches to the target for x-ray generation, other bunches come to terahertz radiator (undulator or multifoil). Bunches from the RF gun are also planned to use for ultrafast electron difraction. Some detailes of the design, current status of the project and future plans are described.

  Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has used thermionic cathode-based microtron accelerator for operating compact THz FEL due to its compact size and high energy resolution. In this thermionic cathode-based microtron, rightly phased electron bunch train are automatically accelerated during the RF macro-pulse over threshold power for their emission. But, the thermionic cathode should be replaced with a photocathode for applying the microtron to UED or THz/X-ray pump prove experiment requiring femto-second and high peak current. But, it is needed to analyze precisely the electron beam dynamics in a microtron, especially, the relation between the RF phase in a microtron cavity and Laser input time for adapting the photocathode to a microtron. Hence, we conduct computer simulation with 3D PIC-code to find those optimized conditions for operating photocathode-based microtron.
