	An RF-photogun-based linear accelerator for ultra-short electron beam generation is under construction at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). This facility are mainly composed of an 1.5 cell S-band (2856 MHz) RF gun, a travelling wave type linac 3 m long and 90-degree achromatic bends. The emitted electron beams are accelerated in high RF field to ~ 3 MeV. The electrons can be deflected by a first bending magnet installed right after the RF gun. Each beamline has second bending magnet similar to the first one and three quadrupoles between the bending magnets. Two bending and three quadrupole magnets compose the 90-degree achromatic bend. The deflected electron beams will be used for ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experiments. We have performed computer simulation using ASTRA code to investigate the electron beam dynamics in the system with the input data of bead tested gun electric field distribution and the magnetic fields of the magnets. We will present the simulated and experimental electron beam parameters.

MOP038	Stabilization of Magnetron Frequency for a Microtron-Driven FEL	107

	Under KAERI WCI program we develop a compact pulsed microtron-driven FEL. Electron bunches trains are accelerated in the microtron and transported by the beamline to the undulator. The RF cavity in the microtron is fed by a magnetron. Any accelerator driver for a FEL should provide an electron beam having very stable parameters such as electron energy, current, and especially the bunch repetition rate in a train. All mentioned parameters depend on magnetron current. It means that special attention should be paid for the shape of the current pulse, supplied to the magnetron from the modulator. We developed the modulator project with a computer control that will provide an arbitrary shape of the magnetron current. A simplified prototype was fabricated and tested. The methods of controlling of the pulse shape are considered. Simulation and experimental results are presented.

	The UED (Ultrafast Electron Diffraction) beamline of KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) WCI (World Class Institute) Center has been completed and successfully commissioned. Transverse emittance of the electron beam was measured at the entrance of the UED chamber with the quadrupole scan technique. In this technique, larger drift distance between the quad and screen is preferred because it gives better thin lens approximation. A space charge dominated beam however, will undergo emittance growth in the long drift caused by the space charge force. We suggest mitigating this growth by introducing quadrupole scan with short drift and without thin lens approximation. We shall discuss the measurement process and results.

	Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DOE grant no. DE-FG02-97ER41033. Using different undulator configurations on the Duke storage ring, we have successfully achieved lasing with a novel two-color storage ring FEL. Using a pair of dual-band FEL mirrors, simultaneous lasing was realized in IR (around 720 nm) and in UV (around 360 nm). With this two-color FEL, we have demonstrated independent wavelength tuning of either IR or UV lasing. With careful tuning, we have also realized harmonic lasing with the UV lasing tuned to the second harmonic of the IR lasing. The tuning of harmonic two-color lasing has also been demonstrated with the locked wavelengths. Furthermore, we have demonstrated good control of the FEL power sharing between the two colors. The two-color FEL has created new opportunities to drive a two-color Compton gamma-ray beam at the High Intensity gamma-ray Source at Duke.

	In today's world there is a significant demand for FEL-based THz radiation sources. They have a wide tuning range, a narrow band of radiation, and comparably high peak and average emission power. There are a significant number of these machines in the world, operating or in the development. The main difference between a long-wave FEL, of THz or a millimeter band, and a conventional one is a too big transverse size of the fundamental mode of an open optical resonator. It claims a large gap in an undulator that dramatically decreases its strength. Both factors sorely decrease the amplification and the efficiency, and often make lasing impossible. The main way to solve this problem is to use a waveguide optical resonator. It decreases and controls the transverse size of the fundamental mode. However, the waveguide causes a number of problems: power absorption in its walls; higher modes generation by inhomogeneities, as it is not ideal; electron beam injection into a FEL is more sophisticated; also outcoupling is more complicated; finally, the resonator detuning control claims some special solutions. The waveguide dispersion relation differs from one in the free space. It shifts up the wavelength of the FEL, changes the optimal detuning, and creates a parasitic mode near the critical wavelength of the waveguide. These problems and possible solutions to them are considered.

WEP082	High-Power Ultrashort Terahertz Pulses generated by a Multi-foil Radiator with Laser-Accelerated Electron Pulses	739

	Terahertz (THz) wave is an attractive source for a variety of research including imaging, spectroscopy, security, etc. We proposed a new scheme of high-power and ultrashort THz generation by using the coherent transition radiation from a cone-shaped multi-foil radiator [] and a rectangle-shaped multi-foil radiator. To perform the proof-of-principle of the multi-foil THz radiator, we used 80~100 MeV electron bunches from laser-plasma acceleration. While a cone-shaped multi-foil radiator has a circular polarization with a conic wave, we made a rectangle-shaped multi-foil radiator that has a linear polarization in a plane-like wave, which can be used more widely for various applications. We can easily control the power of multi-foil radiator by adjusting the number of foils. We compare the THz power ratio between 1 sheet and multi sheets using cooled bolometer. We will measure the pulse duration and bandwidth of the THz wave from the multi-foil radiators in a single-shot by using electro-optic sampling and cross-correlation method. Phys. Rev.

	Recently, the RF photogun based-ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) system has been developed in KAERI. In the system, the emitted electron bunches are experimentally confirmed to be accelerated up to 3 MeV at 5MW of RF power. And the time duration of the each bunch is initially designed to be less than 50 fs at the sample position. To analyses the performance of the system and to measure exactly the length of the electron bunches, we developed a rectangular type of S-band deflecting cavity working on TM120 mode. The principle of electron deflecting in the cavity, design & mechanical fabrication process and test results will be present in the conference.

	In laser wakefield accelerator, usually a gas target is used to generate plasma medium. With this gas target, the pressure of the system cannot be keep as low as possible for electron beam application such as seeding the storage ring. To reduce this vacuum problem in LWFA, a plasma generated from solid Al target was used as plasma medium. A fundamental beam from the Q-switched ns pump laser in the Ti:sapphire power amplifier was used to generate a plasma from solid Al target. The plasma density was controlled by changing the distance between the main laser pulse for electron acceleration and the solid target. The plasma density was measured by the interferometer. The measured density indicates that the average charge of the ion in pre-plasma was 4.4. The main pulse ionized the Al plasma up to Al XII which means that the ionization injection could be used as an injection scheme. A 28 TW fs laser was used to accelerate the electron. A quasi-monochromatic electron was generated. The peak energy was 70 MeV and energy spread was 15 %. The divergence of the beam was 12 mrad in horizontal direction and 6 mrad in vertical direction.

The idea of the permanent-magnet VPU was proposed just several years ago and it has not been properly tested yet. There are some technical problems, which have to be solved before this idea can be implemented in practice.
