The low-energy X-band linac has a wide application in medical imaging. In this paper, an X-band linac is designed to produce beam energy between 0.5MeV and 1.5MeV, and the output beam energy is continuously adjustable within this range. Two sections of linacs are combined and powered by a single microwave source. During the experiment, we can tune the RF phase and amplitude of the second section of the linac, the electron beam can see either acceleration or deceleration, which tunes the output energy. This paper presented the production of the whole linac system, as well as the measurement of the continuously-adjustable beam energy.

The roughness of a photocathode could lead to an additional uncorrelated divergence of the emitted electrons and therefore to an increased thermal emittance. The randomness of the real-life photocathode surface makes it unrealistic to perform typical beam dynamics simulation to study the roughness emittance growth. We developed a numerical simulation code based on the point spread function (PSF) and an estimated form of electric field distribution on an arbitrary gently undulating surface to deal with the problem. The simulation result surprisingly shows that the emittance growth factor is much smaller than expected (1.5 ~ 2).
