The Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) is a 50-MeV electron linac designed to produce electron bunches which can be synchronized with the picosecond pulse of a 100-GWatt CO/sub 2/ laser. This facility will be used to study the acceleration of electrons by the laser-grating technique as well as by an inverse free-electron laser, and will also provide a picosecond source of x-rays via nonlinear Compton scattering. Here we report on the design of the electron gun which will provide rf bunches of up to 10/sup 10/ electrons synchronized with the laser beam. (AIP)
