  Thermal simulation has been performed for an energy feedback normal conducting RF cavity. The cavity is going to be used as a fast actuator to regulate the arrival time of the electron bunches in fs level in FLASH. By measuring the arrival time jitter of one bunch in a bunch train, the designed cavity apply a correcting accelerating or decelerating voltage to the next bunches. The input power of the cavity is provided by a solid state amplifier and will be coupled to the cavity via a loop on the body. To achieve the fs level precision of the arrival time, the cavity should be able to provide accurate accelerating voltage with a precision of 300 eV. We performed thermal simulation to find out the temperature distribution of the cavity and make sure that heating will not affect its voltage precision. The simulation results show that by using two input loops the coupling constant will vary from 4.11 to 4.13 during the operation of the cavity which effect on the bunchs' arrival time would be less than 0.25 fs. While using just one input loop can lead to an error of about 1 fs.

Over the past decades, advances in ultrafast technologies led to the production of intense ultrashort THz to optical pulses reaching single-cycle pulse duration. Using such pulses for electron acceleration offers advantages in terms of higher thresholds for materials breakdown, thus introducing a promising path towards increasing acceleration gradients. Conventional accelerator technology is based on either continuous wave or long pulse operation, where resonant or guiding structures are usually employed. We introduce novel structures for electron acceleration which operate with single-cycle pulses named as single-cycle ultrafast guns. The operating frequencies considered here are at THz wavelengths inspired by the recent progress in the optical generation of intense single-cycle THz pulses. We begin with designing guns for low energy pulses and proceed with structures designed for high energy pulses. More importantly, it is shown that the already achieved THz pulse energies of 20 uJ are enough to realize relativistic fields for electron acceleration. These structures will underpin future devices for fabricating miniaturized electron guns and linear accelerators.
