The proposed New Light Source for the UK has the baseline specification of an FEL photon energy ranging up to 1 keV and a repetition rate of 1 kHz. In order to fulfil this specification, an injector with a normal conducting L-band photocathode gun and a superconducting L-band cavity module has been designed. To allow the implementation of a second stage injector with even higher repetition rate, a merging system with a dog leg is being considered. The beam parameter optimisation for several operation modes has been carried out using the ASTRA code. Technical issues of the RF design and thermal behaviour of the gun are also discussed. |
