TUB3CO04 | A New Thermionic RF Electron Gun for Synchrotron Light Sources | 453 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Science, under contract DE-SC0015191 and contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. A thermionic RF gun is a compact and efficient source of electrons used in many practical applications. RadiaBeam Systems and the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory collaborate in developing of a reliable and robust thermionic RF gun for synchrotron light sources which would offer substantial improvements over existing thermionic RF guns and allow stable operation with up to 1A of beam peak current at a 100 Hz pulse repetition rate and a 1.5 μs RF pulse length. In this paper, we discuss the electromagnetic and engineering design of the cavity, and report the progress towards high power tests of the cathode assembly of the new gun. |

WEPOB07 | Dielectrically-Loaded Waveguide as a Short Period Superconducting Microwave Undulator | 897 |
|
||
The HEM12 mode in a cylindrical, dielectrically-loaded waveguide provides E and H fields on the central axis that are significantly higher than the fields on the conducting walls. The waveguide is designed to operate near its cutoff frequency where the wavelength and phase velocity vary significantly to enable tuning of the equivalent undulator wavelength. The operating frequency would range from 18 - 24 GHz. It would be possible to generate coherent, high-energy 45 - 65 KeV x-rays from the fundamental mode which are tunable over a 20% energy range by changing the source frequency while maintaining constant field strengths. The x-ray brilliance of the microwave undulator would be 3 times higher at 56-KeV and 7 times higher at 66 KeV than what is available with the APS 1.8 cm period Superconducting Wire Undulator. Since the loss factor of sapphire is very low at cryogenic temperatures, it is possible to consider a superconducting microwave undulator, although resistive losses of ~200 to 700 W/m may be a bit too high for CW operation. | ||

WEPOB11 | Tuning of the APS Linac Accelerating Cavities After Structural Re-Alignment | 910 |
|
||
A new S-band LCLS type Photo-cathode (PC) gun was recently installed in the APS linac. As a consequence, it was recognized that many of the linac accelerating structures were out of their 1mm straightness tolerances. In order to reduce the effects of wakefield on the beam, several of the misaligned structures were straightened. This paper discusses the bead-pull RF measurements, the effect of the straightening efforts on rf and the cell to cell retuning efforts that were performed. | ||

WEPOB70 | Mechanical Straightening of the 3-m Accelerating Structures at the Advanced Photon Source | 1051 |
|
||
A project is underway at the Advanced Photon Source to mechanically straighten the thirteen 3 meter accelerating structures in the Linac in order to minimize transverse wakefield, and improve charge transport efficiency and beam quality. Flexure supports allow positioning of the structures in the X & Y directions. Mechanical design of the flexure support system, straightening techniques, mechanical measurement methods, and mechanical & RF results will be discussed. | ||
