Funding: Work is supported by ANR-10-EQPX-51, by grants from Région Ile-de-France, IN2P3 and Pheniics Doctoral School ThomX is a compact Compton Backscattering Source (CBS) which is being built at LAL, Orsay, France. ThomX ring has a short circumference of 18 m and a design energy of 50 MeV. Due to the low energy of the beam and in order to avoid beam degradation it is important to evaluate the ring components impedance. A CST Particle Studio impedance simulation of the different components of the ring (BPM, bellows, optical chamber, etc.) is under way. It will be followed by a bench measurement of the longitudinal and transverse impedance using the coaxial wire method. This paper will detail the preliminary results of the ThomX storage ring impedance simulations and the measurement principle we will use. |

| WEPOY024 | Beam Dynamics Simulations of the Thomx Linac | 3036 |
|

| ThomX Compton light source is designed to maximise the average X-ray flux providing a compact and tunable machine which can operate in hospitals or in museums. These constraints impose the choice of a high collision rate which is based on S-band Linac whose energy is 50-70 MeV combined to an electron storage ring. As most of the performances of the electron beam at the interaction point depend on the beam quality at the ring entrance, the linear accelerator must be carefully designed and especially the photo-injector. Simulations have been carried out in order to optimise the emittance for the ring entrance. Indeed, for a bunch charge of 1 nC, space charge effects usually dominate the total beam emittance. The latter can be minimized at the end of the Linac by means of emittance compensation. The best configuration across all the parameters will be presented. | ||

| THPOW001 | Design of a 4.6-Cell RF Gun for the PHIL accelerator at LAL | 3922 |
|
||
| A photo-injector with 4.6-cell and resonate frequency of 2.998 GHz has been designed and studied to replace the 2.5-cell RF gun + booster association. The cavity iris shape and dimensions were simulated systematically to optimize the shunt impedance. In this study, electron beam reaches to 9.7 MeV with a moderate peak accelerat-ing gradient of 80 MV/m. Considering a beam charge of 1 nC/bunch, average transverse emittance of ~ 5.9 πmm mrad and energy spread of ~ 0.8% can be obtained at the exit of the gun. The RF input power is only 10.2 MW due to the high shunt impedance. Asymmetry of the electric field due to the coupling port has also been studied using 3D codes for RF and beam dynamics calculations. We will present the RF design and beam calculations results. | ||
