An intense L-band electron linac is now being commissioned at ACEP (Advanced Center for Electron-beam Processing in Cheorwon, Korea) for irradiation applications in collaboration with POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and KAPRA (Korea Accelerator and Plasma Research Association). It is capable of producing 10-MeV electron beams with average 30-kW. For a high-power capability, we adopted the L-band traveling-wave structure operated with a 2π/3 mode. The RF power is supplied by the pulsed 25-MW and average 60-kW klystron with the matched pulse modulator and the inverter power supplies. The accelerating gradient is 4.2 MV/m with the beam current of 1.45 A which is fully beam-loaded condition. The solenoidal magnetic field is 700 Gauss to focus the electron beam and suppress the BBU instability. In this paper, we present commissioning status with details of the accelerator system.

A C-band standing-wave electron accelerator for a compact X-ray source is being commissioned at ACEP (Advanced Center for Electron-beam Processing in Cheorwon, Korea). It is capable of producing 4-MeV electron beam with pulsed 50-mA. The RF power is supplied by the 5-GHz magnetron with pulsed 1.5 MW and average 1.2 kW. The accelerating column is a bi-periodic and on-axis-coupled structure operated with π/2-mode standing-waves. It consists of 3 bunching cells, 6 normal cells and a coupling cell. As a result of cold tests, the resonant frequency of the accelerating column is 4999.17 MHz at the π/2-mode and the coupling coefficient is 0.92. The field flatness was tuned to be less than 2%. In this paper, we present commissioning status with design details of the accelerator system.
