  The Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) has been operating nine low energy accelerators for THz and X-ray light sources, nuclear physics, and medical isotope generation. In November 2012, the IAC and RadiaBeam collaborated to upgrade an IAC 44 MeV L-band RF linac with a chicane bunch compressor and a THz-radiator with periodic copper gratings for the wakefield radiation. In this paper, we report our recent experimental demonstration of a high average power (~ 17 W range in the RF macropulse) sub-THz wakefield radiation from the THz radiator without using any sub-ps laser or undulator.

  The Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University has been operating a 44 MeV L-band linac for high average power THz generation, various nuclear physic related applications, medical isotope generation, and Laser Compton Scattering (LCS) based X-ray generation. As of August 2012, the IAC has been upgrading the 44 MeV linac with a new computer based EPICS accelerator control system to replace the old analog control system. So far, this upgrade includes control of two GigE CCD cameras, and several magnet power supplies with embedded IEEE controllers. However, the 44 MeV linac also has some magnet power supplies which are controlled with external RSTL controllers. This paper describes the development of the EPICS accelerator control system to control Lambda EMS and TCR magnet power supplies with these external RSTL controllers.
