  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.
