  A Plane-Wave-Transformer (PWT), standing wave linac operating at S-band frequency (2.9979 GHz) is being developed at NSRRC. This structure offers the advantages of high efficiency, compactness, fabrication simplicity and cost. The PWT prototype at NSRRC consists of three cells with two half-cells at the ends, separated by a set of four flat disks suspended and cooled by four water tubes inside a large cylindrical tank. To fully understand its physical properties, numerical modeling of the PWT prototype has been carried out by using the 2-D code SUPERFISH and 3-D code MAFIA. In this paper, we describe the principle properties of this structure, the electric parameters obtained from numerical simulations, and heat dissipation calculation. The mechanical design for prototype linac is also reported.

  A low energy test linac is being constructed at NSRRC for technological development of high brightness electron injector. It is a 29 MeV S-band linac that equipped with a high gradient thermionic cathode rf gun for generation of ultrashort relativistic electron beam by velocity bunching in the rf linac section located at downstream. High quality GHz-repetition-rate electron pulses of about 30 pC in bunch charge, pulse duration as short as 100 fsec can be produced from this test facility. It can be used as the driver for future light source experiments such as ultrafast head-on inverse Compton scattering (ICS) X-ray source and intense coherent THz free electron lasers.
