MOPC020 | Development of an S-band Multi-cell Accelerating Cavity for RF Gun and Booster Linac | 110 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by JST Quantum Beam Program We have been developing a photocathode rf gun. The rf gun with multi cell can produce a high energy electron beam, so it may be used for numerous applications such as medicine and industry. At Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source (LUCX), we have developed a compact X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering. Using a multi cell rf gun will make possible for the X-ray source to use for such applications. S-band 3.5 cell rf electron gun which is 20 cm long can produce more than 10 MeV electron beam. According to the simulation, it is said that the emittance of 3.5 cell rf gun is as low as that of 1.6 cell rf gun. The electromagnetic design has been performed with the code SuperFish, and the particle tracing by Parmela. The new rf gun is already installed and produced a high quality electron beam with energy of more than 10 MeV. As a consequence of the substantial efforts of developing rf cavity, we decide to make a compact RF accelerating structure with more cell for achieving a smaller system. The measurement results of using the 3.5 cell rf gun, the design of 12 cell booster cavity, and current status of 12 cell cavity manufacturing will be presented at the conference. |

TUPC058 | Design of a Chirping Cell Attached RF Gun for Ultrashort Electron Generation | 1129 |
|

Funding: Work supported by JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A) 10001690 We have been developing an S-band photocathode rf electron gun at Waseda university. Our rf-gun cavity was firstly designed by BNL and then, modified by our group. In this paper, we will introduce a newly designed rf-gun cavity with energy chirping cell. To generate an energy chirped electron bunch, we attached extra-cell for 1.6cell rf-gun cavity. Cavity design was done by Superfish and particle tracing by PARMELA. By optimizing the chirping cell, we observed linear chirped electron bunch. The front electron have lower energy than rear. Then transporting about 2m, the bunch can be compressed down to 200fsec electron bunch with the charge of 160pC. This ultrashort bunch will be able to use for generating CSR THz radiation, pumping some material to be studied by pulse radiolysis method, and so on. In this conference, the design of chirping cell attached rf-gun, the results of tracing simulation and plan of manufacturing will be presented. |

TUPC059 | Study on Energy Compensation by RF Amplitude Modulation for High Intense Electron Beam Generated by a Photocathode RF-Gun | 1132 |
|

Funding: Work supported by JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(A)10001690 and JST Quantum Beam Program. At Waseda University, we have been studying a high quality electron beam generation and its application experiments with a Cs-Te photocathode RF-Gun. To generate more intense and stable electron beam, we have been developing the cathode irradiating UV laser which consists of optical fiber amplifier and LD pumped amplifier. As the result, more than 100 multi-bunch electron beam with 1nC each bunch charge was obtained. However, it is considered that the accelerating voltage will decrease because of the beam loading effect. So we have studied the RF amplitude modulation technique to compensate the beam energy difference. The energy difference will caused by transient accelerating voltage in RF-Gun cavity and beam loading effect. As the result of this compensation method, the energy difference has been compensated to 1%p-p, while 5%p-p without compensation. In this conference, we will report the details of energy compensation method using the RF amplitude modulation, the results of beam experiments and the future plans. |

THPS090 | Development of the Pulse Radiolysis System with a Supercontinuum Radiation using Photonic Crystal Fiber | 3645 |
|

Funding: Work supported by JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A) 10001690 In usage of radiation, it is important to study the process of chemical effects of ionizing radiation in a material. Pulse radiolysis is a method to trace these rapid initial chemical reactions by ionizing radiation. As a pump beam, we are using 5MeV electron beam produced from the S-band photo cathode RF-Gun. In nanosecond timescale pulse radiolysis, it is required the stable probe light of a broad spectrum. And especially in picosecond timescale pulse radiolysis, probe light should have short pulse width to use stroboscopic method. Therefore, in order to develop a wide range of timescale experimental system, we have been developing a Supercontinuum (SC) light as a probe light, which is generated by nonlinear optical process of short pulse IR laser in photonic crystal fiber (PCF). As a result, the SC light spectrum is broad enough to use as a probe light. Then we tried to measure the absorption spectrum of hydrated electron by SC light, we successfully observed good signal-noise ratio data both nanosecond and picosecond experiment with unified pulse radiolysis system. In this conference, we will report details of these results and future prospects. |
