Title: LASL electron linac workshop

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6048428

An electron linac design workshop was held at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) on July 12 and 13, 1979. The primary purpose of this workshop was to address the problems of attaining high single-pulse electron currents (> 200 A) and concurrently maintaining good energy dispersion (less than or equal to 1%) and minimal beam emittance. Present and future applications of intense single micropulses include detector-response measurements, chemical photolysis and high-energy physics experiments. For the free electron laser application, a train of many (approx. 10/sup 4/) intense micropulses is required. The workshop began with a brief review of existing accelerators capable of producing high current in a single micropulse. Next, future requirements and plans were discussed briefly. Most of the workshop covered presentations and discussions on electron injectors, space charge, energy compression and single-bunch beam loading.
