MOPHO26 | Laser-undulator FEL with Nearly Copropagating Laser Pulse | 294 |
|
||
A free-electron laser (FEL) may be obtained by interaction of an electron bunch and a nearly copropagating laser pulse, where the laser pulse is sheared to extend the interaction length. When the angle between the electron beam axis and the propagation direction of the laser pulse greatly exceeds the reciprocal of the relativistic factor, the output radiation is nearly on the axis, and the FEL may be approximated by an axially aligned magnetostatic undulator. For a feasible laser-undulator FEL, we calculate gain using a one-dimensional model, as well as a three-dimensional model that includes degradation from diffraction and electron velocity spread. | ||
TUPMA19 | Wisconsin SRF Electron Gun Commissioning | 622 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE Award #DE-SC0005264 and the University of Wisconsin The University of Wisconsin has completed fabrication and commissioning of a low frequency (199.6 MHz) superconducting electron gun based on a quarter wave resonator (QWR) cavity. Its concept was optimized to be the source for a CW free electron laser facility. The gun design includes active tuning and a high temperature superconducting solenoid. We will report on the status of the Wisconsin SRF electron gun program, including commissioning experience and first beam measurements. |

TUPMA20 | Effect of RF Gradient upon the Performance of the Wisconsin SRF Electron Gun | 625 |
|
||
The performance of the Wisconsin 200-MHz SRF electron gun is simulated for several values of the RF gradient. Bunches with charge of 200 pC are modeled for the case where emittance compensation is completed during post-acceleration to 85 MeV in a TESLA module. We first perform simulations in which the initial bunch radius is optimal for the design gradient of 41 MV/m. We then optimize the radius as a function of RF gradient to improve the performance for low gradients. | ||
