  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.

  The NSRRC high brightness photoinjector for light source R&D is a 2998 MHz split configuration. Our goal is to produce 1 nC bunch charge from a photo-cathode rf gun with normalized emittance of 1 mm-mrad or less. However, limited by the available power from our klystron, previous studies showed that our linac has to be equipped with focusing solenoid to help emittance control during acceleration. In order to omit the bulky focusing solenoid from the booster linac system, we considered to use two high gradient (~26 MV/m) PWT standing-wave structures to accelerate the beam previous to the linac. Studies showed that this configuration can keep the emittance as low as 1 mm-mrad while also decreasing the energy spread to half of its initial amount. The only drawback is the growth of final beam radius, which can be compensated by using a setting of quadrupole magnets.
