We describe the status of two accelerators that Advanced Energy Systems has recently designed and built, and is presently commissioning. One system will drive the THz FEL at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, while the other will produce radiation for Homeland Security applications. A key aspect of the required FEL accelerator performance is low longitudinal emittance < 50 keV-psec at 200 pC bunch charge from a thermionic electron source. The other system is compact, robust and efficient since it must be transportable.

FROAS1

Tutorial on High Brightness Photoinjectors

D. Dowell
SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA

Photoinjectors are an enabling technology for a number of linac-based accelerators with applications varying from advanced accelerator techniques, such as wake field acceleration to super-bright x-ray light sources, nuclear physics, and others. The speaker will introduce this exciting subject to novices, and discuss the basics of electron production, acceleration, and beam manipulation in photoinjectors.
