| MOPKF013 | The Influence of the Main Coupler Field on the Transverse Emittance of a Superconducting RF Gun | 327 |
|
||
| For the Rossendorf superconducting RF gun project the influence of the additional RF field, created in the cavity by the RF power flow at the main coupler, is discussed. One end of the gun cavity is occupied by the cathode insert, so all flanges are concentrated on the other end. In the "flange plane" of the cavity two HOM coupler, the pic up and the main coupler are located. If we normalize the RF field in the cavity by the condition Eacc = 25MV/m and assume a beam power of 10kW (CW mode), we obtain an quality factor Qext = 2.2*10**7. A three dimensional field calculation using the MAFIA code, gives the field perturbation near the main coupler. Tracking calculation with ASTRA show,that this perturbation increases the transversel emittance between 1 and 4%, nearly independent from the bunch charge. This result shows, that for average beam powers in the vicinity of 10kW effects, connected with the assymetric input of RF power can be neglected. | ||
| MOPKF014 | Emittance Compensation of a Superconducting RF Photoelectron Gun by a Magnetic RF Field | 330 |
|

| For compensation of transverse emittance in normal conducting RF photoelectron guns a static magnetic field is applied. In superconducting RF guns the application of a static magnetic field is impossible. Therefore we put instead of a static field a magnetic RF field (TE - mode) together with the corresponding accelerating mode into the superconducting cavity of the RF gun. For a 3 _ cell cavity of the superconducting gun with frequencies f = 1.3GHz for the accelerating mode and f = 3.9 GHz for the magnetic mode and a bunch charge of 1 nC a transversal emittance of 0.5 mm mrad has been obtained. In this case the maximal field strength on the axis were Ez = 50 MV/m for the accelerating mode and Bz = 0.34 T for the magnetic mode.(This corresponds to Bs(max) = 0.22T on the surface of the cavity). Possibilities for the technical realization (input of RF power for the TE mode, tuning of two frequencies in one cavity, phase stability) are discussed. | ||
| MOPKF015 | A Superconducting Photo-Injector with 3+1/2- Cell Cavity for the ELBE Linac | 333 |
|
||
|
After successful tests of an SRF gun with a superconducting half-cell cavity [*], a new SRF photo-injector for CW operation at the ELBE linac has been designed. In this report the design layout of the SRF photo-injector, the parameters of the superconducting cavity and the expected electron beam parameters are presented. The SRF gun has a 31/2-cell niobium cavity working at 1.3 MHz and will be operated at 2 K. The three full cells have TESLA-like shapes. In the half-cell the photocathode is situated which will be cooled by liquid nitrogen.

| Advanced Energy Systems continues to develop advanced electron gun and injector concepts. Several of these projects have been previously described, but the progress and status of each will be updated. The project closest to completion is an all superconducting RF (SRF) gun, being developed in collaboration with the Brookhaven National Laboratory, that uses the niobium of the cavity wall itself as the photocathode material. This gun has been fabricated and will shortly be tested with beam. The cavity string for a closely-coupled DC gun and SRF cavity injector that is expected to provide beam quality sufficient for proposed ERL light sources and FELs will be assembled at the Jefferson Laboratory later this year. We are also collaboration with Los Alamos on a prototype CW normal-conducting RF gun with similar performance, that will undergo thermal testing in late 2004. Another CW SRF gun project that uses a high quantum efficiency photocathode, similar to the FZ-Rossendorf approach, has just begun. Finally, we will present the RF design and cold test results for a fully axisymmetric, ultra-high-brightness x-band RF gun. |
