  An electron DC gun capable for producing very low emittance beam is under developed at Laboratory of Nuclear Science, Tohoku University. The DC gun employs a high voltage of 50 kV to extract electrons, which is suitable to drive Smith-Purcell backward wave oscillator free electron laser (BWO FEL). A result of numerical simulation using a 3-D finite deference time domain (FDTD) method shows the BWO FEL oscillation at the terahertz wavelength region maybe achieved by using the electron beam with an emittance around 0.1 mmmrad. Average power is expected to be more than 100 W per square mm. In addition to which a very small cathode of LaB6 single crystal is employed for the gun, the geometrical structure is optimized to produce the lower emittance beam. A numerical calculation of the elctro-static model for the DC gun to solve equilibrated beam envelope predicts a normalized beam emittance of 0.2 mmmrad will be realized at the beam current of a couple of hundreds mA. Particularly by applying special bias voltage between the cathode and the wehnelt, the transverse distribution of electrons is possibly becoming to be an ideal Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (K-V) beam, so that the space charge effect will be minimized. The paper will present the status of the development of the low emittance DC gun and various simulation result of the terahertz BWO FEL oscillation.

  To develop a narrowband coherent Terahertz (THz) light source, a project for producing very short electron bunch has been progressed at Laboratory of Nuclear Science, Tohoku University. Coherent synchrotron radiation is another promising source for generation of high-power THz light. Passing through a conventional undulator with a field period length of ~ 10 cm, the very short electron bunch at the energy around 15 MeV can produce coherent THz radiation. The electron beams of which the bunch length is less than 100 femto-second will be generated by a combined injector system of a thermionic RF gun and a bunch compressor. We have developed an independently-tunable-cells (ITC) RF gun consisted with two uncoupled cavities in order to manipulate the longitudinal phase space. It was found out that the ITC-RF gun is possibly quite suitable to produce such a very short bunch employing a magnetic bunch compressor. In theoretical investigation at the moment, a bunch length of less than 50 fs has been achieved in the numerical tracking simulation. Employing Lienard-Weichert potential, we have performed a 3-D simulation of the coherent THz radiation. The paper will describes the latest status of development of the ITC RF gun and tracking simulations for the bunch compressor as well. Characteristics of the coherent THz radiation resulted from the simulation will be also reported
