The development of a new electron gun with the lowest possible emittance would help reducing the total length and cost of a free electron laser. Recent progresses in vacuum nanoelectronics make field emitter arrays (FEAs) an attractive technology to explore for high brightness sources. Indeed, several thousands of microscopic tips can be deposited on a 1 mm diameter area. Electrons are then extracted by a first grid layer close to tip apex and focused by a second grid layer one micrometer above the tip apex. The typical aperture diameter of this focusing layer is also in the range of one micrometer. The big challenge with FEA, is to achieve good emission homogeneity, we hope to achieve this with diverse conditioning techniques. However if we can achieve a low emittance with FEAs another challenge will be to preserve the emittance during the beam acceleration.

The envisaged current upgrade from 2 to 3 mA of the PSI 590-MeV main cyclotron requires an increase of the global accelerating voltage of the 50-MHz cavities which leads to a nearly unacceptable RF requirement for the 150-MHz flattop cavity. In order to preserve the longitudinal acceptance and transmission of the machine while relaxing the high demands on the flattop system, it is conceivable to install a buncher in the 72-MeV injection line. To this end, normal-conducting 150-MHz half-wave resonators and 500-MHz two-gap drift-tube cavities have been designed and optimised for minimum input power and peak surface fields. The dependence of the RF properties (Q0, shunt impedances and peak fields) with beam apertures and gap voltages compatible with beam-dynamics requirements are presented.

A significant increase of the beam intensity increase of the PSI 590 MeV proton accelerator facility above 2 mA requires a higher accelerating voltage in the main RF cavities. A corresponding increase of the voltage in the flattop cavity would result in a complete rebuild of this device. As an alternative, a scheme with a strong buncher in the 72 MeV beam transfer line is being studied. The goal is to restore the narrow phase width (~ 2 deg/RF at 50 MHz) of the beam bunches observed at extraction from Injector 2 at injection into the Ring Cyclotron. If we can find and inject a stable particle distribution, as done in the Injector 2, the flat-top cavity might eventually be decommissioned. First results of multi particle tracking in full 6 dimensional phase space with space charge are presented.
