Thermionic RF guns are compact, economical and high brightness electron sources. However, when the guns are used for a driver linac of oscillator-type Free Electron Lasers (FELs), which requires moderate bunch charge (several tens pico-coulomb) and long macro-pulse duration (several micro-seconds), the guns have been suffered from the back-bombardment effect*. The effect induces beam current increment in a macro-pulse. And consequently the current increment leads to decrement of beam energy during a macro-pulse and significantly limits the beam macro-pulse duration after some bending magnets. Our group found a new energy compensation scheme called as cavity detuning** and the method was introduced to compensate the beam energy decrement in the thermionic RF gun used for KU-FEL***. In this presentation, we will introduce the principle of the method and experimental results. Detailed analysis of the method will be also presented.
