The purpose of the chopper/buncher system for the RTM injector is to chop a 100 keV 5 mA dc electron beam into 60/sup 0/-long pulses at 2380 MHz and then bunch these beam pulses to 10/sup 0/ at insertion into the 5 MeV injector linac. These beam manipulations must contribute a minimum increase in the phase space of the beam such that, at the entrance to the injector linac, the transverse emittance is less than 5..pi.. mm-mrad. Phase-shift measurements on the chopped beam indicate that the bunching fields are sufficient to achieve the required longitudinal compression. Beam envelope measurements, using wire scanners on the chopped and bunched beam, show that the emittance remains within design goals.
