Funding: Sponsored in part by US Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics. A room-temperature RF undulator to produce ~1 nm wavelength radiation using a relatively low energy electron beam (0.5 GeV) is considered. The design features include an effective undulator period of 0.45 cm, an undulator parameter of K = 0.4, an effective field length of 50 cm. These parameters could be be realized using a multi-MW RF power amplifier to drive the undulator (e.g., the 34 GHz pulsed magnicon at Yale or a 30 GHz gyroklystron at IAP) with microsecond pulse duration. Two undulator designs were considered that avoid problems with a co-propagating wave: a dual-mode cylindrical cavity [TE01 (counter propagating) - TE02 (co-propagating)] with an off-axis electron beam; and a traveling HE11 mode resonant ring with an on-axis beam. |
