NERSC computing resources are supported by DOE. The underdense plasma photocathode concept (aka Trojan horse) *,** is a promising approach to achieving fs-scale electron bunches with pC-scale charge and transverse normalized emittance below 0.01 mm-mrad, yielding peak currents of order 100 A and beam brightness as high as 1019 A/(m rad)2, for a wide range of achievable beam energies up to 10 GeV. A proof-of-principle experiment will be conducted at the FACET user facility in early 2014. We present 2D and 3D simulations with physical parameters relevant to the planned experiment. * Hidding et al., PRL 108:035001 (2012). ** Xi et al., PRST-AB 16:031303 (2013). |

TUPSM27 | High-power Tests and Initial Electron Beam Measurements of the New High-gradient Normal Conducting RF Photoinjector System for the Sincrotrone Trieste | 694 |
|
||
Radiabeam Technologies, in collaboration with UCLA, presents the development of a high gradient normal conducting radio frequency (NCRF) 1.6 cell photoinjector system, termed the Fermi Gun II, for the Sincrotrone Trieste (ST) facility. Designed to operate with a 120MV/m accelerating gradient, this single feed, fat lipped racetrack coupler design is modeled after the LCLS photoinjector with a novel demountable cathode which permits cost effective cathode exchange. Full overview of the project to date, installation, high-power RF conditioning and initial electron beam emittance measurements at Sincrotrone Trieste will be discussed along with basic design, engineering and manufacturing. | ||
