Jefferson Lab (JLab) is proposing JLAMP (JLab AMPlifier), a 4th generation light source covering the 10-100 eV range in the fundamental mode with harmonics stretching towards the oxygen k-edge. The new photon science user facility will feature a two-pass superconducting linac to accelerate the electron beam to 600MeV at repetition rates of 4.68MHz continuous wave. The average brightness from a seeded amplifier free electron laser (FEL) will substantially exceed existing light sources in this device's wavelength range, extended by harmonics towards 2 nm. Multiple photon sources will be made available for pump-probe dynamical studies. The status of the machine design and technical challenges associated with the development of the JLAMP are presented here.

Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) is currently developing a new 500kV DC electron gun for future use with the FEL. The design consists of two inverted ceramics which support a central cathode electrode. This layout allows for a load-lock system to be located behind the gun chamber. The electrostatic geometry of the gun has been designed to minimize surface electric field gradients and also to provide some transverse focusing to the electron beam during transit between the cathode and anode. This paper discusses the electrode design philosophy and presents the results of electrostatic simulations. The electric field information obtained through modeling was used with particle tracking codes to predict the effects on the electron beam.
