Abstract

One of the main features of FELs and FEMs is the possibility of fast and wideband tuning of the resonant frequency of active media, which can be provided by changing the particle energy. For a frequency adjustable FEM-oscillator, a broadband microwave system, which is simply combined with an electron-optical FEM system and consists of an oversized waveguide and reflectors based on the microwave beams multiplication effect has been proposed and studied successfully in {open_quotes}cold{close_quotes} measurements. Here, the operating ability of a cavity, that includes some key elements of the broadband microwave system, was tested in the presence of an electron beam. To provide large particle oscillation velocities in a moderate undulator field and the presence of a guide magnetic field, the FEM operating regime of double resonance was chosen. In this regime the cyclotron as well as undulator resonance conditions were satisfied. The FEM-oscillator was investigated experimentally on a high-current accelerator {open_quotes}Sinus-6{close_quotes} that forms an electron beam with particle energy 500keV and pulse duration 25ns. The aperture with a diameter 2.5mm at the center of the anode allows to pass through only the central fraction of the electron beam with a current about 100A and a small spread of longitudinalmore »« less

High-efficiency CARM

Conference Bratman, V; Kol`chugin, B; Samsonov, S; ...

The Cyclotron Autoresonance Maser (CARM) is a well-known variety of FEMs. Unlike the ubitron in which electrons move in a periodical undulator field, in the CARM the particles move along helical trajectories in a uniform magnetic field. Since it is much simpler to generate strong homogeneous magnetic fields than periodical ones for a relatively low electron energy ({Brit_pounds}{le}1-3 MeV) the period of particles` trajectories in the CARM can be sufficiently smaller than in the undulator in which, moreover, the field decreases rapidly in the transverse direction. In spite of this evident advantage, the number of papers on CARM is anmore »« less

Experimental study of an FEM with a microwave system of a new type

Journal Article Bratman, V; Denisov, G; Ginzburg, N; ... - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

Operability of the wide-band reflector based on the effect of microwave beams multiplication was tested in the hot experiment. A microwave system of the new type including such a reflector was used in a free electron maser (FEM)-oscillator with a guide magnetic field. The high-current accelerator Sinus-6 forming a 500 keV/120 A electron beam was used as the FEM driver. The double-resonance regime, when both the undulator and the cyclotron resonance conditions were fulfilled simultaneously, provided maximum output power 7 MW and electron efficiency 12% at the designed frequency 45 GHz.

Report on first masing and single mode locking in a prebunched beam FEM oscillator

Conference Cohen, M; Eichenbaum, A; Kleinman, H

Radiation characteristics of a table-top free electron maser (FEM) are described in this paper. The FEM employs a prebunched electron beam and is operated as an oscillator in the low-gain collective (Raman) regime. Using electron beam prebunching single mode locking at any one of the possible oscillation modes was obtained. The electron beam is prebunched by a microwave tube section before it is injected into the wiggler. By tuning the electron beam bunching frequency, the FEM oscillation frequency can be locked to any eigen frequency of the resonant waveguide cavity which is within the frequency band of net gain ofmore »« less

High-efficiency FEL-oscillator with Bragg resonator operated in reversed guide field regime

Conference Kaminsky, A; Sedykh, S; Sergeyev, A

The aim of the present work was to develop a narrow-band FEL-oscillator working in millimeter wavelength with, high efficiency. It looked promising to combine the high selective property of Bragg resonator with high efficiency and other advantages of FEL operation in the reversed guide-field regime. An experimental study of the FEL was performed using lilac LIU-3000 (JINR, Dubna) with the electron energy of 1 MeV, beam current up to 200 A and pulse duration of 200 ns. The beam was injected into the internction region with guide magnetic field of 2.9 kGs. Transverse oscillations of electrons were pumped by themore »« less

FEM design and simulation of a short, 10 MV, S-band Linac with Monte Carlo dose simulations

Journal Article Baillie, Devin; Aubin, J.; Fallone, B. - Medical Physics

Purpose: Current commercial 10 MV Linac waveguides are 1.5 m. The authors’ current 6 MV linear accelerator–magnetic resonance imager (Linac–MR) system fits in typical radiotherapy vaults. To allow 10 MV treatments with the Linac–MR and still fit within typical vaults, the authors design a 10 MV Linac with an accelerator waveguide of the same length (27.5 cm) as current 6 MV Linacs. Methods: The first design stage is to design a cavity such that a specific experimental measurement for breakdown is applicable to the cavity. This is accomplished through the use of finite element method (FEM) simulations to match publishedmore »« less
